Unlocking Rural Potential

Ruaha Energy’s vision is clear: “One million customers, one village at a time.” By combining clean, renewable energy with modern tools, inclusive finance, and market access, the project is designed to create thriving rural economies. From coffee bagging to milling, crowdfarming to mobility, each mini-grid becomes a foundation for entrepreneurship, jobs, and long-term economic growth.

COTIT’s Role: Digital Inclusiveness for Growth

As part of the Joint Venture, COTIT is responsible for ensuring digital inclusiveness —
making sure the opportunities unlocked by energy are supported by the right digital tools.

Our modular 360° platform provides:

• Real-Time Visibility – Monitoring energy generation, distribution, and productive use.
  
• IoT Integration – Connecting equipment, devices, and services for smarter operations.
  
• Data-Driven Finance – Linking usage and performance data to microfinance and investment.
  
• Supply Chain Enablement – Supporting local businesses with traceability, compliance, and market access.
  
  

In short, COTIT serves as the digital development engine — ensuring that energy translates into measurable economic growth.

From Power to Prosperity

Energy is the enabler, but economic empowerment is the outcome. With COTIT’s platform, rural entrepreneurs gain access to the same tools as global businesses:

• Transparent data to build trust.
• Forecasting and analytics to reduce waste.
• Digital connectivity to access new markets.
• Compliance and sustainability reporting to meet global standards.
  
  

This ensures that every kilowatt of energy creates opportunity, resilience, and progress for the communities it serves.

A Shared Mission

For COTIT, this project is a natural extension of our mission: making supply chain complexity simple, transparent, and adaptable. Together with Ruaha Energy and consortium partners, we are building a model where clean energy, digital tools, and local entrepreneurship combine to power not just villages — but thriving rural economies across Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
