Epicenter partners with community Water Service Providers (WSPs) in Kenya to reduce operating costs and improve service reliability through solarisation, data collection and digitalisation. Working with its financial partner, InfoCap, Epicenter supports WSPs to install solar-powered systems and repay investments through the savings and revenue these upgrades generate.
Why we funded: High energy costs and unreliable grid access remain major barriers for water providers in Kenya. Our support helps Epicenter demonstrate how solar technology and blended finance can make water systems more viable — cutting costs, improving reliability and unlocking new funding to scale.
