Volta Power Lease

Volta Power Lease invests in Autonomous Power Systems in countries with no or bad access to power to get: • more power • more reliable power • cheaper power to boost business. Volta facilitates the financing of the autonomous power systems and realises a decent return against an acceptable risk for the investors. Volta Power Lease develops and maintains the Autonomous Power Systems and optimizes them by financing, leasing and monitoring. The Autonomous Power System is a combination of power supply and battery storage. Battery storage systems can be fed by every kind of renewable energy source (Solar, Wind, Hydro, Biomass) and/or conventional power sources, or an optimal combination of these in a mini-grid. The Advantages • Full reliability due to back-up and storage with state-of-the-art equipment supplied by professional partners • Major cost advantage to diesel generators • Positive impact: economic growth, communities and environment Social Impact The autonomous power system will have a positive social impact on communities. Any job will improve because reliable energy makes it possible to work safer, plan better and work or study when dark. Reliable power will help the community to grow: economically, environmentally and intellectually. Women will benefit even more than men because of the daily efficiency in tasks mainly carried out by women. Also, it will help women to eliminate the backlog. The local communities will be involved and will be trained in the maintenance and use of for example the solar parc and the batteries. The autonomous power system will save tons of CO2 and the soil will not be contaminated by leaking diesel any more.
