Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Matt Orosz\u2019s mission for the last 20 years can be explained with a single picture: a satellite image of the world at night, with major cities blazing with light and large swaths of land shrouded in darkness.<\/p>\n

The image reminds Orosz SM \u201903, SM \u201906, PhD \u201912 of what he\u2019s trying to change. Orosz is the CEO of OnePower, an MIT spinout building networks of minigrids powered by solar energy to bring electricity to rural regions of Lesotho.<\/p>\n

There are other companies building minigrids in Africa, but OnePower is the only one to have accomplished the feat in Lesotho, and it\u2019s not hard to understand why.<\/p>\n

Known as the kingdom in the sky, Lesotho is a small, developing country crossed by mountain ranges and rivers, making it difficult to get electricity to rural regions.<\/p>\n

Recent estimates suggest that less than half of all households have electricity. OnePower\u2019s first minigrid is a small system that has been serving around 200 customers for more than a year.<\/p>\n

The operation is part of an eight-minigrid project that will provide reliable electricity for the first time to more than 30,000 people, 13 health clinics, 25 schools, and over 100 small businesses.<\/p>\n

Construction on those sites is underway, and Orosz is currently working on a power transmission and road crossing over the Senqu river, the largest in southern Africa.<\/p>\n

During the project, the operators of a health clinic on the off-grid side of the river let Orosz stay there on the condition that he fix their diesel generator.<\/p>\n

He got the generator working again, but if everything goes according to plan, the clinic won\u2019t need it for much longer. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have power, then you don\u2019t have lights, you don\u2019t have computers, you don\u2019t have communications,\u201d Orosz says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means hospitals can\u2019t refer patients or get expert opinions or run equipment, and schools can\u2019t get internet.<\/p>\n

When the fundamental institutions for health and education don\u2019t have power, their effectiveness is pretty limited, which affects quality of life for everybody that lives in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201d Finding a spark The health clinic Orosz is staying in isn\u2019t far from where he first learned about energy access problems in rural Africa.<\/p>\n

Between 2000 and 2002, Orosz lived in Lesotho, without electricity, as a member of the Peace Corps. The experience inspired him to help, but without an engineering background, he knew he\u2019d need to gain more skills first.<\/p>\n

\u201cI applied to MIT so that I could gain some knowledge and experience and apply it in this setting,\u201d Orosz says, noting he spent a lot longer at MIT than he initially intended.<\/p>\n

Orosz first joined the research lab of Harry Hemond, the William E Leonhard Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, learning about topics like physics and fluid mechanics as part of his first year at MIT.<\/p>\n

After that, he enrolled in another master\u2019s program in technology and policy. In 2007, he began a PhD at MIT studying solar thermal and photovoltaic hybrid power generation. The education wasn\u2019t the only reason Orosz stayed at MIT.<\/p>\n

Throughout his time on campus, he also took advantage of funding opportunities presented by the IDEAS Social Innovation Challenge and the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition (the $50K at the time).<\/p>\n

Orosz was also awarded a Fulbright scholarship while at MIT, and was selected for grants from the World Bank and the Environmental Protection Agency. Orosz also aligned himself closely with MIT D-Lab. During his second master\u2019s, he led trips to Lesotho with other D-Lab students.<\/p>\n

Between his master\u2019s and his PhD, Orosz spent a year living in Lesotho exploring energy solutions with three other MIT students, including Amy Mueller \u201902, SM \u201903, PhD \u201912, who is currently chief financial officer of OnePower and is also an assistant professor at Northeastern University.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Orosz moved to Lesotho to work on OnePower full-time. The move coincided with OnePower\u2019s successful bid to develop the first utility-scale solar project in Lesotho, a 20-megawatt project that will sell electricity to Lesotho\u2019s central grid in addition to OnePower\u2019s minigrid work.<\/p>\n

OnePower expects that project, named Neo 1, to start delivering power to Lesotho\u2019s central electric grid next year. \u201cIt takes quite a lot of time and money to develop utility scale solar projects, but we\u2019ve been told by investors and partners that seven years is not unusual,\u201d Orosz says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of reminds me of the time it took to get a PhD \u2014 surprisingly long, but corroborated by others\u2019 experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201d In conjunction with the grid-scale project, OnePower also piloted the first privately financed, fully licensed minigrid in Lesotho. The company has also set up minigrids to help power six health care centers in the mountains of Lesotho.<\/p>\n

OnePower\u2019s grid-scale project and its minigrids use industry standard, large-format bifacial solar panels, mounted on single axis tracking substructures designed and built in Lesotho by OnePower, but the minigrids send energy to a powerhouse filled with lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n

From there, transmission lines bring the electricity to different villages, where it powers homes, businesses, schools, health clinics, police stations, churches, and more.<\/p>\n

A smart meter at each customer\u2019s building tracks electricity usage, and customers use a phone app to pay for their electricity. OnePower secured funding for the projects from a network of private investors rather than through grants and donations.<\/p>\n

By paying the investors back, Orosz says OnePower will be showing that funding such projects can be a profitable investment in addition to an impactful one.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s important because grants and donations will only take minigrid operators so far. Orosz says in order to provide reliable electricity to the entire continent of Africa, a huge amount of private investment is needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is ultimately to prove that you can make this work: that you can generate electricity and sell it to a customer in Africa, and that revenue enables you to pay back the financier that helped you build the infrastructure in the first place,\u201d Orosz says.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you close that loop, then it can scale. That’s the holy grail of minigrids. \u201d<\/p>\n

Orosz believes OnePower is differentiated from other minigrid companies in that it develops and owns more of the value chain, like the tracking substructures that allow solar panels to adjust with the sun, which has helped the company continue operations during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The technical innovations his team developed at MIT ultimately help OnePower offer lower electricity prices to people in Lesotho. Turning the lights on<\/p>\n

OnePower has doubled its employees over the last year as construction on the eight minigrids ramps up. As his team stays busy rolling those projects out, Orosz is already exploring options for the next cluster of minigrids OnePower will build.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can solve the economics and logistics in Lesotho, then it should be a lot easier to replicate this in other markets,\u201d Orosz says.<\/p>\n

The goal is to bring OnePower\u2019s minigrids to the rural communities that would benefit from them the most. As the satellite image of earth at night shows, that includes many unelectrified community across sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think Africans in rural areas should have the same quality of power as Africans in urban areas, and that should be the same quality power as everywhere else in the world,\u201d Orosz says.<\/p>\n
