Enabling companies through technical assistance

As part of our commitment to expand the productive use of energy, we provide technical assistance to a selection of companies.

Osquareteck

Osquareteck is an independent and recognised leader in providing energy efficiency and micro grid turnkey services to the power industry in Nigeria.

They are in the process of introducing the GridFree system which saves clients the need to buy PV and battery storage. They have started to build a pilot off-grid bulk charging station in Ogun state, where batteries (48VDC 114AH LiFePo4) will be charged and made available for rental as a battery-as-a-service model. These batteries will furthermore power e-vehicles such as e-rickshas and two-wheelers, and maybe later on cars.

PREO is supporting them with finding partners and researching e-mobility policy best practices in sub-Saharan Africa.

They have finalised a proof of concept in 10 schools in Zimbabwe and are planning to scale up to 363 schools within the next 6 years.
