Who we are
Empowering Communities, Energizing Futures
SWARM-E is a transdisciplinary approach for sustainable, affordable and modern energy access and wellbeing for Sub-Saharan Africa, aligned with the AU-EU Agenda 2063.
SWARM-E will operate and replicate 5 pilots in Rwanda and Tanzania, under which 5 SWARM grids are installed, delivering 6.9 GWh of renewable electricity while generating income through the trading of electricity and avoiding the discard of 3,200 batteries; 5 water purification applications would deliver 101.M L of clean water; 15 light electric vehicles would deliver farmers’ produce, 700 kg of H2 to be blended with LPG for cleaner cooking, and more than 500 jobs for women and youth to be created.
The balanced participation of EU and AU private, public and civil society organizations in the consortium will ensure the knowledge transfer North-South and South-South, and the sustainability of value chains based on local value creation and entrepreneurship.
