Overview
Founded in March 2023, Sandragon is committed to promoting a healthier and more sustainable world by providing high-quality bicycles and cycling services within gated communities. Their mission is to reduce carbon emissions and foster a culture of health and environmental responsibility through innovative cycling solutions. As part of its future roadmap, Sandragon plans to transition to solar-powered electric bicycles, expanding clean mobility options and enhancing energy efficiency in its operations.
Ark Power’s flagship project, funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), deployed a solar-powered integrated farming system that powered irrigation, poultry, and fish farming in a rural Nigerian community. This initiative demonstrated the company’s ability to link energy access with real economic outcomes.
Looking ahead, Ark Power is expanding into data-driven energy intelligence, exploring how energy access can be accelerated through better insights, smarter project planning, and scalable partnerships. The company continues to build a robust pipeline of high-impact projects that blend clean energy with community development.
