Leadership
Off-Grid Europe was founded in 2010 by Christiane Kragh and Mark Kragh. The company developed into a provider of complex technical energy solutions. OGE provides customers with end-to-end renewable energy solutions.
OGE specializes in PV (Photovoltaics) and BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) and works across a wide spectrum from system design and planning to system procurement and construction. The company’s proprietary intelligent software solution, the Off-Grid Controller, provides efficient energy monitoring and control.
Since 2020, OGE is part of the rural electrification project ASER300 in Senegal. In the course of realizing this project, OGE founded its Senegalese subsidiary Off-Grid Africa. Together, the two companies are making an important contribution to the electrification of rural regions in Senegal and beyond.
By providing competitively priced, easy to maintain and scalable energy systems, OGE strives to create a positive impact on the environment, local economy and uplift the lives of millions of people.
Innovation is at the heart of OGE. They recently launched Ohms Box, a compact BESS that can be used to generate electricity in off-grid regions and in harsh conditions, even for MW-sized installations.
Additionally, the company developed a solar powered cooling hall: Much Cooler to combat post harvest loss which is still a huge issue on the African continent. With 100% solar power and battery storage, farmers can store and cool their harvest. This solution contributes to nutrition security, price stability and food quality in Africa.
