Gigawatt PURE Power develops utility-scale solar, battery storage and productive-use Energy Hubs across Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo — bankable infrastructure built to bring reliable, clean electricity to millions.
PURE Power is the East & Central Africa delivery platform of Gigawatt Global — the company that built and operates Burundi's first utility-scale solar field. We combine a proven operating track record with deep government relationships to move projects from MOU to megawatts.
Grid-connected solar PV with battery storage, engineered for reliability on constrained networks — from 10 MW extensions to 100 MW flagship plants.
An integrated model pairing generation with productive use — powering agriculture, services and small business so electricity drives real economic growth.
Solar-powered metro grids rolling out across 45 cities in the DRC, targeting more than a million new connections under Mission 300.
Gigawatt Burundi — operating & expanding
Gigawatt DRC — national rollout
We are not a greenfield promise. Gigawatt Global delivered the first utility-scale solar interconnection under the U.S. Power Africa program in Rwanda, and built Burundi's first grid-connected solar field — now supplying roughly a tenth of the country's power.
A delivery team with operating assets, not just pipeline.
Signed MOUs with utilities and ministries in both markets.
A repeatable Energy Hub model across dozens of sites.
Universal-access goals translated into bankable projects.
We welcome investors, lenders, development-finance institutions and government partners. Find out how to get involved.
