SUMMARY STATEMENT

The Metawork Force is a Ghanaian setup


founded by a group of passionate stem students
and environmental enthusiasts. The passion we as
a team have to protect the environment has
driven us to contribute to a more greener and
sustainable future by utilizing the abundant water
resources in our motherland Ghana. Our aim is to
solve the problem of inadequate electricity in the
country by harnessing the power of flowing water
to produce electricity

PROBLEM STATEMENT

In many parts of Ghana, there is a growing need for clean


and sustainable sources of energy. However, there are
still communities that lack access to reliable electricity
Lower Manya Krobo in the Eastern
Region. This not only hinders their daily lives but also
limits their economic and social development. They are
not able to work efficiently due to this issue and this
costs not only themselves but the country as a whole a
great loss
PROPOSED SOLUTION

Our hydroelectric business aims to address the problem


by harnessing the power of water to generate clean and
renewable energy. By building and operating the
country. We can provide electricity to underserved areas,
improving their quality of life and supporting their
growth. Our goal is to create a sustainable and
environmental friendly energy solution that benefits
both the communities we serve and the planet as a
whole

EXISTING SOLUTIONS

Existing solutions such as solar energy have numerous


limitations such as solar energy is not so efficient in
cloudy or shaded areas because in areas like these there
is not enough sunlight to power the solar panels. Other
solutions such as Hydroelectricity powered by dams are
very expensive, one hydroelectric dam could cause
almost 1 billion cedis to construct, not only is it expensive
but when dam spills it water it destroys many towns and
causes people their livelihood this issue is evident in
some communities in the Volta Region.

Our Hydroelectric generator Is less expensive as


compared to the dams, our product is mobile which
implies that customers are able to move the product
from one place to another easily. Unlike other sources of
electricity our product is ecofriendly and has relatively
lower noise emission .It does not need any extra power
to generate electricity.it is durable thus can last long. Its
more efficient and convenient.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INOVATION

In a Hydroelectric, a turbine is a large wheel with curved


blades which spins the water. This turbine is connected
to a dc motor which spins when the water flows through
the turbine. As the motor spins, a magnetic field is
created within the stator, attracting and repelling the
magnet on the motor, this causes the motor to move
whereby converting the kinetic energy the moving
turbine posseses into electrical energy.

To reach our target customers , we will employ


a multi channel marketing approach, including
online advertising ,social media
avenues,partnerships with local energy
companies and participation in renewable
energy conferences. We believe all these
channels are very important for our business to
thrive. Our product will be available on all
online shops. We will offer competitive pricing
and flexible payment options to attract
customers

Below is a detailed explanation of all the costs


used to build our products

TOTAL GHC 465

Total material estimates; GHC 465


Labour estimates;GHC 100
Therefore we spent a total of GHC 565 to build
our prototype

FUNDING
Team contributions
GHC 20 multiplied by six members=GHC 120

Community support= GHC 500

With all that being said we have decided to sell


our product for GHC 700
A discount of 10% will be on every 10 of our
products which are bought from one customer
