Green Impact Technologies

Providing affordable renewable energy through PAYG to un-electrified communities

2019 SEED Africa Award Winner Clean Energy Lilongwe, Malawi

GIT seeks a wide-spread adoption of sustainable energy technologies that work so that its pioneering approach can benefit far last-mile communities more than its work alone.

The fact that 90% of Malawians are not electrified means GIT aspires to reach 10,000 households to adopt cleaner technologies in the process of graduating from energy poverty.

GIT has a unique model for last mile distribution through energy kiosks and agents, the model differentiates the enterprise approach to the rest of the companies operating in energy access in Malawi.

Green Impact Technologies (GIT) operates a PAYG business model, where last-mile customers pay local agents an installation fee and then upload credit periodically through mobile money. GIT is also developing a biogas plant which will generate energy from agricultural waste at Tsangano market for use by local restaurant entrepreneurs.

Alongside the innovative PAYG model, Green Impact Technologies provides certified products with a 2 year warranty and after sales service. By training local agents, GIT ensures both quality products and services.
