ABOUT US

Village Energy builds thriving communities by using advanced technology to help grid operators improve the reliability and affordability of providing energy to consumers.

​

We believe in the long term role of the electricity grid and target high growth developing markets, where a grid (of some form) already exists, but the quality and reliability of energy is poor and profitability is hard to achieve. We are not a solution for a community that currently has no electricity, but once the first, basic energy needs are met, we take it to the next level - improving reliability, quality, and affordability.
