Toyola Energy Limited

Toyola’s plaque reads: In appreciation and recognition of your dedication to creating sustainable commercialization strategies for increasing the use of clean and efficient cooking technologies.

Toyola Energy Limited is a social entrepreneurial business that produces and sells energy efficient cook stoves and solar energy products to poor households in urban and rural areas of Ghana and Togo using a decentralized production and mobile marketing approach. This program uses a unique direct marketing sales and distribution model by which oroducts are brought to the doorsteps of customers in remote communities in Ghana thereby providing ownership opportunities to those who will otherwise not have access. These are complemented by leveraging carbon finance and microfinance to scale up sales activities making the products ubiquitous and affordable.
