Sawa Energy is a renewable energy company founded in 2021, dedicated to transforming energy access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across East Africa by providing affordable, predictable solar electricity without upfront costs. With a mission to empower local businesses, reduce carbon emissions, and deliver strong investor returns, Sawa Energy has quickly established a reputation for eliminating financial and operational barriers to solar adoption, offering fully financed, on-site solar installations that guarantee energy prices 10–30% lower than traditional utilities.

The company fosters a collaborative and impact-driven work culture, attracting talent passionate about sustainability and innovation, and offers diverse job opportunities with flexible arrangements across its offices in Rwanda, Uganda, Canada, and the Netherlands. Co-founded by Samuel Kaufman (CEO), Jordan Zipkin (CIO), and Guillaume Charpenel, who collectively bring over a decade of experience in renewable energy and finance, Sawa Energy has evolved rapidly, deploying over 13 MW of solar projects and aiming to become the largest private solar provider in East Africa by 2030. Its innovative business model combines international capital with local solar expertise, enabling SMEs to access clean energy solutions that reduce electricity pricing volatility. Serving clients like MTN and I&M Bank, Sawa Energy's core values—sustainability, partnership, and innovation—guide its operations and commitment to social impact, including job creation and environmental stewardship.
