In the remote province of Cunene, Angola, the Chiulo Hospital once relied on a 200kW diesel generator, which was not only expensive but operated for only part of the day. Power outages were a constant danger, especially during critical surgeries or in the refrigeration of vaccines. Barrel stepped in with an off-grid energy system that has allowed the most important portion of the hospital to operate 24/7. The system ensures that essential departments such as the maternity ward and operating theatres remain powered, even in the most challenging conditions. 
The introduction of Barrel's system has not only reduced the hospital’s reliance on costly diesel fuel but also significantly improved patient outcomes, with fewer interruptions to critical services and a newfound resilience in the face of power cuts.
