Powered by The Energy Desk

More than hosting, these sites are built on The Energy Desk's geospatially enabled web platform, with effortless domain registration under energydesk.africa, rapid development, access to shared datasets like the maintained IPP database, and a single sign-on that carries a visitor's account across every Energy Desk site that they are a member of.

The same platform for your site

The Energy Desk builds and hosts sites for events and working groups, project teams, and membership organisations, all e-commerce enabled for event seats, subscriptions and paid downloads. It is built especially for NGOs, research programmes and small teams, putting capable web and geospatial infrastructure within reach without the cost of standing it up and maintaining it in-house.
