Company mission
To enable large-scale capital deployment into solar mini grids, and other types of clean, distributed energy technologies in emerging markets.
Our take
Solar mini-grids are the lowest-cost way of delivering sustainable electricity to the estimated 1 billion people across the globe who can’t access traditional power grids. Consequently, there's more than $550M worth of these projects in development, principally in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, creating a highly fertile independent energy market.
Odyssey Energy Solutions is astutely tapping into this, with a platform that serves as a one-stop-shop for solar mini-grid projects. Project teams can use it to connect with financing opportunities, and manage all aspects of development from design to implementation. The platform has seen substantial uptake from teams ranging from startup to governmental scale, and currently services projects from over 100 organizations in over 20 countries worldwide.
This breadth of clientele demonstrates that Odyssey Energy Solutions have managed to drill down into the key issue facing mini-grid development: scaleability. By platforming a diverse marketplace of financing and projects, smaller players are now more readily able to court and secure the financing that would typically otherwise be diverted to larger corporates. In this, Odyssey Energy Solutions has secured a crucial role in a sector that’s expected to see substantial scale-up over the coming decade.
