Bringing affordable clean energy to African communities
Mobile Power, a UK-based tech company, delivers affordable clean energy to off-grid communities in Africa. Globally, 1 billion people lack access to electricity, yet existing off-grid solutions can only commercially reach the wealthiest 15%. Mobile Power’s innovation can profitably reach over 90% of the market, while saving poor households 15% of their total income. This directly contributes to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 1 (No Poverty).
3B Impact works with Mobile Power to embed its impact strategy and scale its business. We do this by:
- Helping Mobile Power to articulate the link between its commercial model and social impact, and win GBP 1.85 million of UK Government funding.
- Reducing risks and improving opportunities for women, supporting SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and establishing strategic partnerships supporting SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
- Undertaking impact assessments and leading research to support human-centred product development and commercialisation.

“3B Impact has been invaluable in helping Mobile Power to commercialise our positive social impact and attract investments to scale the business.”
