Mr. Amir’s resort in Bamako struggled with constant power shortages, frequent blackouts, and an unreliable grid. The aging infrastructure and limited capacity made it difficult to keep things running smoothly. Relying heavily on diesel generators, the resort faced high fuel costs, ongoing maintenance, and significant environmental impact. These challenges led to unpredictable expenses, lower guest satisfaction, and operational disruptions.
Seeking a more reliable and sustainable solution, Mr. Amir installed a 16 KW off-grid solar backup system. The results were immediate and far-reaching.
Now, the resort enjoys stable, 24/7 electricity independent of the grid. The switch to solar has drastically cut energy costs, reduced dependence on diesel, and minimized disruptions to daily operations. Guest satisfaction has improved with more consistent power, and the resort’s carbon footprint has dropped, supporting Mali’s push toward renewable energy.
This transformation has not only helped the resort grow but also positioned Mr. Amir as a leader in adopting clean energy, proving that sustainability and business success can go hand in hand.
