Explore the pageFrom a single spark of conviction in Onitsha to 12,000 lives touched across Nigeria — this is the story of OneGrid Energies.
OneGrid Energies was founded on a simple belief: sustainable change does not always begin with massive systems, but with simple ideas capable of transforming lives.
What started as a vision to reduce energy poverty and environmental waste has grown into a movement focused on reducing darkness across underserved communities.
Through the recycling of waste plastic bottles and discarded laptop batteries, we create solar-powered lanterns that provide light, hope, and opportunity to children and families without reliable access to electricity.
Beyond our community impact projects, we also provide solar installation services, CCTV solutions, renewable energy training, and clean energy products that help homes, businesses, schools, and healthcare centers transition toward sustainable energy.
At OneGrid Energies, we are not just building energy systems. We are building hope, opportunity, and a brighter future.
Expanding access to renewable energy.
Transforming waste plastic and discarded batteries into sustainable solutions.
Empowering young people through technical training.
Building systems that create hope, dignity, and opportunity in underserved communities.
These principles guide every decision, every lantern, every life we touch.
OneGrid Energies isn't built on charity — it's built on circular economics. Every lantern sold funds the next one. Every charging station generates revenue that sustains the community that hosts it.
Our model proves that social impact and commercial viability are not in tension — they amplify each other. We're a social enterprise designed to outlast its funding rounds.
By diverting waste plastics and batteries from landfills, we address two environmental crises simultaneously: solid waste pollution and energy poverty. One problem, one solution, twice the impact.
Whether you're an investor, a donor, an NGO, or just someone who believes no child should study by candlelight — there is a place for you in this story.
