John Richards talked to FELIX PHILIPP about energy resources for communities ‘at the base of the pyramid’, those informal settlement and township dwellers who have a great need for fuel for cooking and living, and electricity, but who often end up paying far more than mainstream consumers.
Felix is project manager for IMPACT AMPLIFIER. He is expert in innovation and shared value creation for entrepreneurs from low-income communities.

Felix will be speaking at the forthcoming Energy Revolution Africa conference in May.
