About Us

Access to reliable, modern, and affordable energy is a basic human right. Yet over 3 billion people in Africa and Asia still don’t have it, with women the most negatively impacted. When communities get electricity, incredible things can happen. That’s where Husk Power comes in. We generate and distribute renewable electricity that leads to prosperity in rural communities. And in the process, we replace polluting and expensive diesel generators with climate-resilient, clean energy infrastructure.

Husk is the world’s leading community solar mini-grid company, operating the largest, lowest-cost fleet across two continents – Asia and Africa. We offer a range of clean energy services, including power and appliance sales, rooftop solar installation for rural commercial & industrial (C&I) customers, agro-processing hubs, EV leasing, clean drinking water, and much more. We serve households, businesses, farmers, health clinics, schools, women, and youth entrepreneurs, entirely from renewable energy – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Husk is a growth-stage company with plans to build 5,000 mini-grids, benefit tens of millions of people and avoid 700 million gallons of diesel by 2030. Our solutions serve off-grid communities but are also grid-compatible and can be rolled out quickly and cost-effectively to support national electrification plans.
