Our Mission
At Asoba, our mission is bold but simple: 100% electricity access across Africa, reliable, affordable, and available to all.
We're building the intelligence layer for distributed power generation, unifying clean energy assets and markets with AI-driven technology. By turning complexity into clarity, we help operators, policymakers, and innovators make energy reliable where it matters most.
Africa's energy future won't be built on yesterday's centralized models. While utilities struggle with aging infrastructure and foreign cloud dependencies, we're deploying distributed AI that turns every solar installation into an intelligent power plant—owned, operated, and optimized by Africans, for Africa.
