Tanzania - Business creation project

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

OLLA ENERGIES is an existing business focusing on sales and distribution of efficient energy technologies such as LP Gas. OLLA ENERGIES intends to become a driving force in distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas in Tanzania and East Africa

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Olla Energies targeted to add value to customers and scale opportunities to supply of small scale residential gas cylinders, manufacturing of low cost portable gas stoves, setting up a gas distribution and cylinder refilling network [ e-commerce ] as Tanzanian Government set to develop a 10-year development strategy of reaching 80 percent clean cooking usage in the country by the end of 2032. OLLA ENERGIES marketing efforts focus on specific geographical locations until a dealership is established before rolling to the next location as enquiries have been received while products and services have increased substantially for more than 50 percent over and above available company working capital therefore limiting company ability to stock sufficient stocks for sale particularly LPG products and appliances. The company started implementing the venture with own mobilized capital amounting to 50,000 USD as 80 percent used as inventory capital and 20 percent support costs of marketing.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The idea of establishing this business was conceived by observing critical environment pollution arising from using dirty sources of energy coupled with an application of poor and inefficient technologies as 90% of the total energy used in Tanzania is produced from wood fuel and charcoal and 80% of this is consumed in rural areas contributing to deforestation and forest degradation which furthermore reduces the capacity of forests to act as Carbon sink. The second biggest energy is petroleum and Olla Energies noted obvious business opportunity of providing households and institutions with cleaner and energy efficient technologies products. Efforts to stop people from destroying the forests have not been successful due to lack of companies or entrepreneurs for selling and distributing LPG. An initiative like this can make a difference in the social service institutions such as schools, health centers and on life of many Tanzania energy poor families for Sustainable development.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

1. To improve livelihood of customers and their families will enjoy greater education opportunities and a better quality of life through access to clean energy and efficient cooking facilities. 2. Displacement of alkaline batteries, fossil fuel generators and kerosene which are dangerous for health 3. Reduced rate of deforestation and pressure to natural forests as consequences of firewood and charcoal sourcing.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adressera le produit/service de votre projet. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

Olla Energies targeted local families and various institutions such as schools, hospitals, bars, restaurants etc. This approach is expected to create 60% of expected sales volumes. Marketing methods would be used as conjunction with word of mouth during various business events like trade fairs, roundtable meetings an through advertisement in various media as circumstances would be allowing and use of promotion materials like brochures and posters.
