Make the most of your energyTM Corporate Profile Southern Africa
1 Our Mission
Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions that make energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green.
2 Leading the energy efficiency race in southern Africa
The key indicator that enables business and society to meet today’s energy challenges is energy efficiency. In new economies, the need for more electricity is driven mainly by population growth, industrialisation and urbanisation. It is these new levels of energy demand that Schneider Electric addresses to assist customers in making the most the Earth’s energy as well as enhancing the energy that is available to them.
We are especially encouraged about the bright prospects and growth avenues brought about recently by a surge of upcoming local consumers seeking new energy sources and energy efficiency imperatives. Furthermore, Schneider Electric is especially passionate about enabling access to energy in the region, and our products, technologies and solutions can fill the “energy gap” experienced by numerous rural communities.
Our aim as leaders in energy efficiency is to address all facets of energy needs – from industry, city to community. By spreading access to reliable, affordable and clean energy through a combined approach of training, offers, business models and investments, Schneider Electric in southern Africa is set to make a real difference to the socio-economic landscape of the region.

5 A sustainable tomorrow starts with a clear vision today By 2030, our world will look like this: > Of the eight billion inhabitants, 60% will live in cities and two billion will join the middle class > Demand for electricity will be 70% higher than in 2007 > China and India alone will represent over 50% of incremental energy demand > 1.3 billion people will not have access to electricity, mostly in Africa and India > Electric vehicles will represent 60% of world share in passenger vehicle sales > Renewable energies will have a 22% share in the global energy mix.
Schneider Electric can assist your business to: Transform the current energy infrastructure crisis in southern Africa with solutions that assist utilities worldwide to better balance power supply during high demand periods. The world’s traditional electrical network – simple and linear, with centralised energy production and passive consumption – is undergoing a transformation to a much more complex, interconnected, and interactive model: the smart grid. Energy demand will double by 2050
At present most people in southern Africa do not know how much electricity they consume until they receive their electricity bill, but in the future they will be able to adjust their energy Electrical energy usage to moments when prices and demand are at their lowest. They will be able to use this demand will double by information to decide when to switch on household appliances such as washing machines and 2030 tumble dryers or to charge other devices and electric cars.

Gilles Vermot Desroches, Sustainability Director, Schneider Electric
BipBop: Business, Innovation & People at the Base of the Pyramid Sustainable access to energy
1,3 billion people have no access to energy in the world, the equivalent of United States and European’s populations combined. Nevertheless, energy is the basis of sustainable development:
> Economical development via local entrepreneurship; > Mechanisation of agricultural production and rural depopulation limitation; > Access to healthcare; > Local living conditions improved by the arrival of lighting, communication infrastructures and leisure activities (radio, television, mobile phones, Internet, street lighting and preservation like refrigeration…) and; > Reduction of health risks associated with kerosene and biomass use.
Schneider Electric concentrates its efforts on three complementary initiatives:
> The funding of entrepreneurs to contribute to small company development and the investment in companies who participate to the electricity supply and access; > The creation of business models, distribution channels and dedicated innovative offers and; > The development of trainings in energy trade jobs.
The main goals of BipBop 1.3 10 programme: billion billion dollars people worldwide are spent every year by low do not have access income consumers to charge their +1 million +30 000 to energy mobile phones (source : Simpa households of the BoP people of the BoP trained Networks) connected to electricity in energy management 16 Investment: the sustainable development of local economies
Schneider Electric invests in companies or micro-companies involved in the development of access to energy via the Energy Access Capital Fund (SEEA). In Africa, to support local entrepreneurs in the development of access to electricity and in Europe to foster the fight against fuel poverty.
For instance, SEEA has invested in One Degree Solar, a start-up that developed access to energy and mobile phone charging solutions in Kenya.
Solutions: the right offer and the right partner
In collaboration with local partners, Schneider Electric proposes innovative access to energy solutions: > Development of reliable, affordable and efficient solutions for rural electrification or for individuals; > Access to new distribution channels and; > Creation of adapted business models.
For instance, Schneider Electric has provided electricity to the village of Asore in Nigeria allowing the inhabitants and entrepreneurs access to public services, such as lighting and ventilators Training: develop the skills
Schneider Electric supports and develops programmes in energy-related trades for under- privileged people: > Funding vocational training programmes: basic training, evening courses, graduated training; > Supporting training centres through technical equipment; > Training trainers relying on the engagement of our employees through the NGO Schneider Electric Teachers.
For instance, in India,Schneider Electric developed training material on electrical trades in about 100 training centres. The group also accompanied young people who would like to set up an entrepreneurship in his process.
