Client:

Husk Power is a leading solar service provider delivering clean reliable electricity to off-grid and underserved communities in Senegal. The company operates hybrid solar mini-grids that power households, small businesses, and community infrastructure.

Challenge:

Husk Power collects data through multiple disconnected systems. Each site used different reporting formats and data frequently arrived late or incomplete. This made it difficult for the company to track real consumption patterns or understand which communities needed tariff adjustments. Pricing decisions were often based on partial information causing inefficiencies in cost recovery, customer billing, and long-term energy planning. Without a unified view of operations, the company struggled to balance profitability with affordability.

Goal:

The company needed a centralized data infrastructure that could automatically consolidate consumption metrics from all mini-grid sites. The objective was to achieve real-time visibility into all data source to support usage analysis, smart pricing, operational efficiency, and strategic tariff optimization.

Solution:

A unified data engineering system was implemented to automate the collection and processing of all energy consumption data. All data sources were connected to a cloud-based data warehouse through standardized ingestion pipelines.

The system cleaned and merged site-level data into an integrated model covering usage analysis, peak load behavior, billing consistency, and customer categories. A BI layer delivered dashboards that allowed analysts to compare villages, detect consumption trends, and simulate tariff scenarios.

Result:

Husk Power gained a complete and accurate view of energy consumption across its entire network. Pricing and tariff adjustment became data-driven, allowing the company to set fair, sustainable rates while improving revenue stability. Communities received more consistent billing, and operational planning improved due to better visibility into peak usage and grid performance. The central system reduced manual work, enhanced forecasting accuracy, and strengthened the company’s ability to scale into new regions
