Sustainable Energy Services Afghanistan (SESA)

SESA's Containerized Renewable Energy System (CRES) is a portable, customizable powerhouse that uses solar, wind, micro-hydro, and diesel back-up or city power to provide electricity to remote villages.

SESA uses a 20-foot shipping container-which brings into Afghanistan all the materials needed to build a complete power system-as the powerhouse. After unpacking, it is first insulated and improved to create a secure, compact and weather-proof environment for the equipment to run the system and distribute electricity.

The container can be outfitted in days as opposed to weeks as it is constructed in SESA's compound in Kabul, allowing multiple containers to be outfitted at once at a much greater speed. This also allows our engineers to work in a safe environment and have immediate access to tools, components and basic construction materials.
