OMC Mitsui Covid-19 Community Outreach
As a distributed rural electric utility with deep roots in the community, it was evident to OMC that the fallout of Covid-19 went beyond health and that economic distress was leading to hunger. To help mitigate some of this distress, OMC launched a community outreach initiative in collaboration with our enlightened Japanese stakeholder, Mitsui &Co. Ltd., to distribute three thousand food packets designed along WHO and WFP guidelines, and tailored for local preferences.
A small step to provide some nutritional succour to over 15,000 people during an unprecedented crisis.

Renewable power for telecom.
Running a mobile network in emerging markets is often costly and polluting.
Expensive diesel fuel powers generators that run 24/7. If there’s grid power, it’s both unreliable and expensive. So operators spend 40% of total OPEX on power & fuel.
That’s why we provide Minigrids for telecom ››
Imagine if there was no power.
How would you charge your phone? Read at night? Heat your food? Cool your home?
To millions of people, this is everyday life. In rural India, only about half the population has access to grid power. And in rural Africa, it’s 25%.
That’s why OMC provides Minigrids for communities ››
