EcoPower Liberia5550 Market Street , Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

EcoPower Liberia (EPL), a Liberian registered renewable energy company, aims to become a significant supplier of electricity in Liberia within 5 years, with a portfolio renewable energy assets,  including solar, biodigesters, biomass and biofuels. In some cases, depending on the geographical location and with the new Liberian energy law permitting, each utility will be a vertically integrated entity that will combine power generation, transmission and distribution assets.  â€‹  This is how it all started...won a business plan competition sponsored by The African Diaspora Marketplace - funded by Western Union and USAID among others. In this competition, TransAtlantic EcoPower, our USA Renewable Energy Company partner, worked with EcoPower Liberia to introduce   the first "biomass to energy" technology at the Booker Washington Institute in Kakata, Liberia. Working with our other team partners and the manufacturer of the biomass generators, we successfully implemented the introduction and demonstration of these biomass generators.  Today, the "biomass to energy" technology project is part of BWI's renewable energy course structure.  â€‹  Since our "biomass to energy" project in Liberia, EcoPower continues to introduce renewable energy technologies in the spirit of innovation.     Our next innovation is the introduction of the Pay AS YOU Go (PAYG) and Mobile Money Integration (MMI) technologies integrated into a number of Solar Home Systems.  This innovation allows us to provide clean, affordable, reliable and renewable solar entertainment and lighting systems.​  This model allows folks who ordinarily would not be able to pay for these systems to pay overtime, thereby providing access to clean power for a number of people both in urban and rural areas.     In our quest to become a major player in the renewable energy space, EcoPower is working with TransAtlantic EcoPower and other partners to develop other renewable energy projects including biofuels, biodigesters and off-grid solar mini grids.
