Job Title:
Asset Recovery Officer
Organization: M-KOPA Solar Ltd
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
About M-KOPA Ltd:
M-KOPA
Solar, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, is the global leader of
"pay-as-you-go" energy for off-grid customers. Since its commercial
launch in October 2012, M-KOPA has connected more than
150,000 homes in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania to solar power, and is now
adding over 600 new homes each day. The success of M-KOPA (M= mobile,
KOPA= to borrow) stems from making solar products affordable to
low-income households on a pay-per-use installment
plan. Customers acquire solar systems for a small deposit and then
purchase daily usage "credits" for US $0.45, or less than the price of
traditional kerosene lighting. After one year of payments customers own
their solar systems outright and can upgrade
to more power. All revenues are collected in real-time via mobile
money systems (such as M-PESA in Kenya) and embedded GSM sensors in each
solar system allow M-KOPA to monitor real time performance and regulate
usage based upon payments. This connected design
means that M-KOPA is processing vast amounts of data (i.e. over 10,000
mobile payments per day) via the company's proprietary cloud platform,
M-KOPAnet. M-KOPA has been recognized for its pioneering business mode
and scale, notably winning the 2015 Zayed Future
Energy Prize, being selected as the top New Energy Pioneer at the 2014
Bloomberg New Energy Finance awards and earning the 2013 FT/IFC
Excellence in Sustainable Finance Award.
