The Collection Gap Nobody Solved
Mini grids are one of the most important tools expanding electricity access in rural Nigeria. They serve communities that the national grid hasn't reached — and may not reach efficiently for years. But generating electricity and getting paid for it are two very different problems.
In many off-grid communities, the payment infrastructure hasn't kept pace with the energy infrastructure. Token vendors are scarce. Signal is weak. Agents collect cash without proper records. The result: operators are generating electricity they struggle to collect full revenue for, and rural households are going without power because buying a token is too difficult or too far away.
Existing platforms improved national grid vending — but they weren't designed for off-grid infrastructure, low-connectivity environments, or the operational workflows of rural energy companies. That gap is what RanaWallet was built to close.
