emPOWERing people & TRANSFORMing communities

Affordable, reliable and sustainable power

Our ambition

To emPOWER 1 million people by 2027

What do we do?

At Hydrobox, we provide affordable, reliable and sustainable power in regions that do not have this today to enable progress and prosperity.

We do this by using small run-of-river hydropower plants, that have minimal impact on the environment and generate maximum power output.

Why do we do it?

To date, 759 million people do not have access to electricity globally and 3 out 4 of these people live in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Now, take a moment to picture your day-to-day life without electricity. From the lights you switch on in the morning, the hot shower you take, the fridge keeping your food fresh, the computer you use to work, to the mobile phone that keeps you connected to the rest of the world. It is hard to picture, isn’t it?

How do we do it?

Small hydropower remains the most efficient, affordable, and sustainable source of energy.

At Hydrobox, we combine proven technology with a smart business model to ensure maximum impact.

Above all, “Stronger together” is our core belief, as partnership lies at the very heart of our DNA.
