ABOUT FRES
FRES (Foundation Rural Energy Services) is a non-profit foundation, founded by Dutch electricity company Nuon in 2004. FRES provides clean energy to families that reside in the rural areas of developing nations. The foundation does this by setting up electricity companies that generate clean electricity from solar power. Currently, FRES manages four companies:
Yeelen Kura and SSD FRES in Mali, Yeelen Ba in Burkina Faso and NuRa in South Africa.
FRES aims to establish new companies and to expand current companies to provide approximately 100.000 households and small scale companies with electricity in a professional, sustainable, environmentally safe and most of all healthy manner before 2015. To bridge the gap in price of a kilowatt-hour between the developed world and developing countries, FRES relies on commercial investors as well as private donations.
