Energy and Africa

Embark on a journey with Chris Horner, the innovative mind behind Powerhive, as we uncover the electrifying revolution of energy and transportation in East Africa. Chris's personal narrative takes us from the conception of the first portable solar device to creating Kenya's first privately licensed utility, revolutionizing the way Nairobi consumes energy. This episode promises to illuminate the path Powerhive has carved, using solar power and smart batteries to dismantle the traditional oil and gas supply chains, providing a cleaner, more sustainable option for consumers. You'll get an exclusive look at how locals can now cruise the streets with electric motorcycles, transforming their daily commute and empowering the community.
