RDG’s purpose is to empower households, businesses, and communities by facilitating access to essential renewable energy products and services that unlock potential and transform lives across Africa.

Founded in April 2018, RDG was born with the sole ambition to ‘Empower the Future’. How? By providing affordable access to life changing clean energy systems and appliances. With the cost of these products remaining prohibitively high for almost all off-grid households, RDG provides its products on a PAY-AS-YOU-GO (PAYG) basis. This enables the customer to spread their payments over an extended period, rather than paying cash up front. By eliminating this ‘barrier’, households across Zambia can access RDG products such as Refrigerators, Solar Water Pumps, Smartphones and Solar Home systems (SHS) to improve and empower their lives. Households that were previously forgotten, are now on the frontier of an exciting new market opportunity.

Since commencement of sales in July 2019, RDG has connected customers in 8 provinces, directly benefiting over 21,000 people through direct sales by commission-based agents.

The RDG Collective team has grown from five employees to sixty three full time, all driven by the challenge of continuous innovation and the passion of serving and empowering off-grid customers. We recognize our team as a long-term competitive advantage and strive to build an entrepreneurial environment that enables them to think above and beyond set goals. The company believes in talent acquisition and undertakes regular continuous training and leadership development programmes. The team participates in various work activities that brings about healthy relations and improves productivity.

We are committed to gender equality and equal opportunities for both males and females in the workplace.
