Additional Information

10Power is a woman-led, certified B-Corporation developing renewable energy markets in frontier economies that suffer from poor access to electricity. In our first market, Haiti, 10Power has been providing commercial and industrial (“C&I”) solar projects. We build local capacity in engineering and project implementation, hiring locally and through partnerships. We apply a gender lens to all we do. We have provided solar to UNICEF Haiti's Headquarters - the largest solar installation on any UNICEF base in the world to date and the first with renewable generation and storage capacity capable of powering all operations. 10Power has also successfully provided solar and energy storage to water purification centers providing clean drinking water to surrounding communities and offering free drinking water to schools. These centers are preventing cholera and dysentery, in-turn they are supporting over 600 micro-enterprises, majority women-owned, in turn serving up to 300,000 people. During the pandemic we successfully installed a solar powered water desalination project that is providing clean drinking water to 35,000 people in La Gonave, Haiti. We also installed solar for a construction trade school for adults, training the workforce in earth-quake safe building practices and creating jobs. 10Power is working towards multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals simultaneously, with specific focus on #1 No Poverty, #5 Gender Empowerment, #7 Affordable, Clean Energy for All and #13 Climate Action NOW. We are a certified UN Energy Access Practitioner. We are continuing our operations in the Haiti market and preparing to launch in our next market, supporting Native American Tribes achieve energy sovereignty.
