Schneider Electric Unveils 2 New Solar Solutions for Communities with Limited Access to Energy

Schneider Electric announced the launch of two new solar power solutions for communities that have little or no access to energy.

The new solar products are designed to withstand extensive use for a wide range of power needs. They expand Schneider’s portfolio of products and solutions that aim to help reach the United Nations’s 2030 target of universal access to energy.

According to the World Bank, 733 million people worldwide still have no access to electricity. Africa’s population remains the least electrified in the world: 568 million people across the continent lack electricity access.

“Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, Schneider Electric is committed to having a positive impact on our many stakeholders, especially when it comes to addressing climate change and social inequality,” said Carol Koech, Schneider Electric’s Country President for East Africa. “Our energy efficient products and solutions are designed to help communities that live in locations where the grid is either unreliable or non-existent.”

The product launch coincided with the Alliance for Rural Electricity’s (ARE) Energy Access Investment Forum 2022 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, from 28-30 June, where representatives from the public and private sectors, including Schneider Electric, are meeting as part of ongoing active support to achieve a sustainable energy future for all.

Schneider’s new products are now commercially available worldwide.
