Overview of Projects

Pipeline 1 – Central Kenya

Pipeline 1 brings clean, reliable energy to three mini-grids in Mathioya, Kirinyaga and Embu, with a total capacity of 2.8 MW – 1.2 MW of which is already erving communities. The project, financed by FMO and ElectriFi, will direcly benefit over 10,000 people and is on track for full completion by 2027.

Pipeline 2 – Western/Central Kenya

Pipeline 2 will provide clean, reliable electricity to over 40,000 people directly, while benefiting indirectly beneffiting approximately 400,000 more in surrounding communities, through three mini-grids in Kericho, Mt. Elgon, and Murang’a. With a total capacity of 12 MW and an estimated investment of USD 50 million, the project is expected to generate 61 GWh of clean energy annually, supporting households, productive users, and local services.

Pipeline 3 – The Democratic Republic of Congo

Pipeline 3 targets four strategically selected mini-grids across the Democratic Republic of Congo—Central Kasai (Tshilomba–Mwene-Ditu), Haut-Katanga (Pweto), Sud-Ubangi (Budjala–Akula), and Tshopo (Kisangani)—with a combined capacity of 10 MW from hydropower and solar. Developed in a country with one of the lowest electrification rates globally, where over 80 million people lack access to electricity, the pipeline is designed to directly impact over 60,000 people, while indirectly benefiting approximately 500,000 people through improved energy access for households, agro-processing, and local services. The portfolio represents an estimated USD 50 million investment and builds on HydroBox’s proven approach of deploying reliable, renewable mini-grids in underserved regions with strong productive-use potential.
