Leapfrogging the Electric Grid by scaling Smart Utility Services
Description
Building the world’s largest smart utility business connecting millions of households across Africa and Asia
The utility infrastructure and its access to millions of households will enable business opportunities beyond energy: from the distribution of LPG gas to water, internet access, consumer products and services, financial services, agricultural products, education or entertainment. Where 1.3 billion people still lack the access to electricity and a further 2 billion have unreliable grid access. Recent technology breakthroughs, cost reductions, business model innovation, remote management with AI and shifts in economic power bring the industry to an inflection point which allows for massive and profitable scale-up of distributed energy services.
