Value proposition

Pioneering the world’s first enterprise technology platform purpose-built for energy access markets.

Our journey began in Tanzania, over a decade ago, where we started installing smart, connected devices to power rural communities. Our vision was clear: thousands of networked distributed energy devices would revolutionize energy transition in emerging markets. Today, this vision is a reality.

ZOLA pioneered the world’s first enterprise technology platform, purpose-built for energy access markets. Our platform, ZOLA iNTELLIGENCE, unites a family of products under one powerful operating system. By combining hardware, software, and dedicated services, we empower local providers to deliver clean, affordable, reliable energy that empowers communities and their own business to thrive.

Today, ZOLA Electric leads the energy technology sector in emerging markets. We proudly serve over 2 million people across 10 countries on 4 continents, partnering with local integrators to electrify homes, schools, clinics, and businesses. Our mission is to eradicate energy inequality, and we won’t stop until we achieve this.
