Project Overview
COUNTRY: Tanzania
LOCATION: Nationwide implementation
INDUSTRY FOCUS: Renewable Energy, Solar Power Solutions
Ensol Limited specializes in delivering comprehensive solar energy solutions across Tanzania, focusing on community systems, industrial applications, and mini-grids. The company provides turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services to address the critical energy access challenges in Tanzania while promoting sustainable development through renewable energy adoption.

Problem Statement
Tanzania faces a severe electricity access crisis, with only 40% of the population connected to the power grid. This situation is part of a broader Sub-Saharan African challenge, where 570 million people lack electricity access. The country's heavy reliance on hydroelectric power makes its energy supply vulnerable to seasonal fluctuations and climate change impacts, creating an urgent need for diversified, reliable energy solutions to support development goals and economic growth.
Project Stages
Ensol operates through a systematic implementation process that includes detailed engineering and design, procurement of quality components, and professional construction services. The company has already deployed over 6MW of solar PV systems across various applications. Current operations focus on expanding their reach through turnkey EPC services and developing new project financing models to accelerate market penetration.
