Magiro Hydro Electric Limited

Generating affordable hydropower in rural areas
2016 SAG-SEED Award Lauréat-e Clean Energy Mihuti, Kenya

Magiro Hydro Electricity Limited (MHEL) has developed an innovative small scale 30 kW hydropower plant in Mihuti Village, which is solely composed of locally available standard engines, recycled bicycle parts and generates electricity from a local waterfall. As MHEL avoids the common connection charges of electricity suppliers and offers flexible pricing for its electricity supply, it offers affordable rates for both private households and local businesses, charging as low as USD 1 per month.

Eco-Inclusive Impacts
MHEL provides highly affordable, renewable energy to residents of Mihuti Village, leading to socio-economic benefits and increased security. Residents have more disposable income from cheaper electricity, and students can easily study at night.
  • Expanding off-grid electricity to 77 households and businesses in rural areas, targeting 500 households in 3 years.
  • Enhancing health standards, educational opportunities and village safety.
  • Saving time for women and girls by substituting firewood collection and increasing household income.
  • Limiting carbon emissions through clean energy which substitutes kerosene.
