Okra

Burning bright doesn't mean burning yourself out. 🔥 Onyinye, our Junior Technical Support, breaks down what that really looks like in practice. Watch the next in our values series and let us know if this one resonates! 🎥

April was a big month. 🌍 Seven new Okranauts joined us across Porto, Abuja, and Shenzhen. We're still hiring, check out our open roles via okrasolar.com/careers. Let's bring Power to the People together. 🔋

3 missions. 3 wins. Mesh-grid demos, a new financing product with Energise Africa, and a pan-African regulatory roundtable: EAIF 2026 delivered. Thanks to all our partners. More to come. #EAIF2026 #MeshGrids #EnergyAccess

Obe-Nla is a coastal fishing village where traditional grid infrastructure was never an option — waterlogged land, saltwater corrosion, and a community too small for a mini-grid. Mesh-grids changed that. Lorgo, a local fisherman, called it a miracle. 🌊💡 Power to the People. ⚡

We're hiring an Electrical Engineering Intern in Porto! 🇵🇹⚡ 6 months, IEFP internship, hands-on from day one. 650 million people still without electricity: come help us change that. Apply 👇 okrasolar.com/careers/electr…

What does it take to bring power to a last-mile community? 2 days of travel & a river crossing. 🚗🛶 We journeyed to Obe-Nla, only reachable by river, via flight from Abuja, a 6-hour drive to Ondo & a river crossing at Igbo-Nla. The long journey is always worth it. 💡

Q2 planning in Porto ✅ 2 days aligning on goals, celebrating wins, and making the most of having the whole team together. Q2, we're ready for you. Are you ready for us? ⚡

We brought partners to Abuja for a Pipeline Builder workshop, and the results were instant. 📍 Bring your coordinates, select your sites, the tool does the rest. DARES-aligned, no guesswork. Still got coordinates in a spreadsheet? → sochima@okrasolar.com

Three new Okranauts, one big mission. 🌱 Meet Diana (People & Ops, Porto), Ridwan (Project Finance, Abuja), and Jaymin (Embedded Engineer, Porto) : keeping things running, unlocking energy finance, and making sure our devices actually work. Let's bring power to the people. 🔋

3 days. 7 meetings. 1 city. ⚡ Affy, Sochima and Ajibola hit Lagos to meet customers, demo the Pipeline Builder, and turn plans into projects. Long days, but you don't notice the hours when the mission is clear. 700M people still without power. 💡

Women make up 25% of tech but only 10–11% of senior roles. At Okra, 6 of our 13 senior managers are women, driving our rural electrification mission forward. Still work to do: but today, we celebrate them. 🌍🌱 #IWD

What does it mean to solve hard problems together? ⚡ In this video, Indranil shares how Okra’s value “Surround ourselves with people that bring us up” comes to life at Okra, from field challenges to stubborn office printers. Because tough challenges bring out the best in us!

At Okra, flexibility is how we take care of our people. 🌍Remote work and meaningful time off help our team stay connected to home, family, and what matters most. Supported people do their best work. 📷💚

🌍 Happy International Clean Energy Day! Clean energy is about people, not just climate. 600M+ still lack reliable power, holding back education, healthcare & opportunity. At Okra, we’re building fast, affordable last-mile energy. Universal access first.

Looking back at 2025, one thing’s clear: we kept growing the right way ⚡️ We welcomed 5 new teammates across Portugal & Nigeria: now 37 Okranauts strong, powering our mission forward. #PowerToThePeople

A year ago, Musa had zero electrical experience. Now he's helping his community in Burum, Nigeria stay powered. Now as a Local Maintenance Agent for First Electric, he's the first line of defense for troubleshooting issues.

Merry Christmas from the Okra team around the world! 🎄🌍 From Portugal to Nigeria to China, we're sharing part of our vision for 2026 as well as what the season means to us. Wishing everyone warmth, rest, and time with the people who matter most.

💚The clean #energytransition is a human story. @affyhannan of @Okra_Solar is #EmPowered by seeing #cleanenergy cut costs for entrepreneurs like Lukman in #Nigeria, creating ripple effects for the whole community. Join the movement to #EmPowerGrowth: seforall.org/empower

Wrapping up the year the Okra way 🎄✨ Across Porto 🇵🇹, Abuja 🇳🇬, and Shenzhen 🇨🇳, our teams came together to create our Okra 2026 Vision Boards: a festive moment of creativity, reflection, and team building. Different time zones. One team. One vision 🚀🎄
