Welcome to Episode 32 of SunCast

Today we spend time with Andy Bindea of Sigora International, a company revolutionizing energy access in Haiti and beyond.  Listen in if you’re interested in hearing:

  • How Andy thinks about scaling electrification to serve the 1.3B people in the world without energy
  • What it means to be the first Micro-utility with a concession to bring electricity to an entire region of Haiti, the largest market in Latin America for electrification and energy access
  • The reason he believes building a technology-first company is what will empower their growth
  • And using a franchise-like model for expanding their technology and business model beyond Haiti

Sigora is a specialty provider of micro-utility energy systems designed for frontier markets.  They have focused on Haiti as a proving ground for their innovative grid-control hardware and software, and have built a very promising model for community empowerment that I hope you enjoy learning more about. I sure did.
