Wamala Energy Co. Ltd is a Ugandan company formed as a consortium of European and African companies collaboratively pooling their respective expertise to revolutionize rural agricultural value chains through last-mile renewable energy solutions. The company was founded as the result of GIZ’s Lab-of-Tomorrow workshop held in Munich, Germany in June of 2017. The consortium identified complementary competencies and experience ideally suited to develop and implement an impactful business model designed to promote the use of clean energy by Ugandan dairy farmers in order to increase productivity.


Wamala Energy Co. Ltd in partnership with the University of Hohenheim implements an innovative farm-based solar powered cooling system for rural farmers. Configured for milk production, the system provides a last-mile refrigeration solution to prevent spoilage and allow rural farmers to preserve milk longer for delivery to dairy cooperatives. The innovation can also be adapted to the preservation of other perishable products such as vegetables, meat and fish.
