About Us

Who We Are:

ARTI Energy is a collaboration between Appropriate Rural Technology Institute Tanzania (ARTI-TZ) and ARTI Energy Limited.

ARTI-TZ is a Tanzanian registered non-political, non-profit making organization, established in 2007, with the mission of serving Tanzania as an instrument of development through the dissemination and application of scientific knowledge and sustainable technologies for energy production, environmental protection, employment and income generating opportunities.

ARTI Energy Limited is a commercial enterprise established in 2011 with the mission to identify quality renewable energy products and market them to the Tanzanian consumers with the support of quality sales and service.

The synergy of these two organizations forms the spirit of ARTI Energy, socially conscious  and dedicated to “Energy, Enterprise & Empowerment.”

What We Do:

ARTI Energy identifies  appropriate renewable energy technologies and introduces them to Tanzania.

“Appropriate = Practical , Accessible, Affordable, & Environmentally Friendly”

We do this by identifying and adapting renewable energy technologies to meet the demands of the local environment.  We then build production and sales capacity and public awareness through training & equipping beneficiaries and consumer sensitizing campaigns.

Once technologies are ready for the market we make them available through existing trade channels; a network of wholesalers, dealers, employee programs and micro-finance institutions.  The end result is a complete and working value chain linking producers to consumers.
