The opportunity

One of the world's largest access gaps — and a clear path to close it.

Gigawatt DRC is leading a national rollout of solar-powered metro grids across 45 cities. With a focus on scalable infrastructure, the platform targets more than one million new electricity connections, aligned directly with the World Bank's Mission 300 goal of universal access across Africa.

Metro grids · 45 cities

Standardized, solar-powered city grids deployed at scale, targeting more than a million new connections nationwide.

Rural Energy Hubs

An integrated Energy Hub model for rural economic empowerment — pairing power with productive use to grow local economies.
