Green Scene Energy is proud to be supported by CLASP through its Productive Use Financing Facility, expanding access to affordable solar water pumps for smallholder farmers across Ethiopia.
Rain-fed agriculture is a fundamental pillar of the Ethiopian economy — and one of its most climate-vulnerable. With over 300 solar water pumping systems already deployed, Green Scene Energy is using CLASP’s support to scale up supply and, just as importantly, to unlock consumer financing. Working closely with Ethiopian financial institutions, we have helped design the country’s first collateral-free loan products for solar water pumps, bringing solar irrigation within reach of farming families who could never afford the upfront cost.
For smallholder farmers, a solar water pump means resilient harvests through unpredictable seasons, higher incomes, and freedom from expensive diesel. For Ethiopia, it means food security built on clean energy.
