NIRAS has more than 25 years of experience combining the fields of energy and environment to create rural electrification systems in developing countries.

Our projects are carried out in co-operation with local authorities, local experts, stakeholders and user groups.

Rural electrification projects start with a user survey of future energy demands. These surveys help us design systems that are optimised for local needs and budgets.

GIS experts

NIRAS is an expert on the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to optimise the design of electrical systems by registering data, linking data to geographical locations and producing key figures and indicators.

Co-operatives

NIRAS is a leading international consultant on establishing village-based co-operatives where user groups maintain and expand their own electrical systems.
