Dear Energy Warriors,
Juststandout is dedicated to using DSEA: Decentralization, Storage, Efficiencies, and Artificial Intelligence to help solve some of West Africa’s and the world’s most pressing challenges—from lack of energy, and climate change to improving healthcare and education outcomes.
2020 – 2021Q1 was an important period in Juststandout’s commitment to advancing storage for renewable energy. We moved from Lead Acid batteries to Lithium-ion batteries. In December 2019 we signed a contract to be the sole representative to Pylontech in West Africa.
In Q3 2020 we had our first webinar with Schneider Electric and Pylontech to formally introduce a killer combination of Schneider + Pylontech to the West African market.
On the back of a very strong Q4 2020, we are happy to say that in Q1 2021 alone, we exceeded our new goal of over 1Mwh of deployed storage in the African market through our partners. We also have in the pipeline our Powervault BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) solutions of 1Mwh and 2Mwh.
We would not be able to achieve this without the efforts of the Juststandout team and partners. This effort is even more extraordinary due the challenges of COVID. We would also want to extend our special thanks to the Japanese government for funding hospital projects that will help in the fight against COVID-19 and the improvement of the Nigerian health care system.
The quarter ended with my graduation from a 3-month African Development Bank sponsored program on the Green Climate Fund Project Proposal Development (GCF) with a First Class in the English stream. I want to again thank the African Development Bank for this opportunity and believe this will help us as we continue to make an impact on a global scale.
Juststandout was also able to deliver 2 important projects before Q1.
