Berhane Berhe Water Works Construction, based in Ethiopia, has joined the Futurepump distributor network – a move that underscores the company’s commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture through solar-powered irrigation.
As fuel subsidies are phased out and the cost of fossil fuel pumps continues to rise, solar pumps offer a cleaner, more affordable alternative for the millions of smallholder farmers across the country. This partnership aligns with Ethiopia’s national goal to install 35,000 solar or wind water supply schemes by 2030.
Designed, tested, and manufactured in India, Futurepump solar pumps are low-cost, versatile, and high-quality. They are compatible with hosepipes, drip and mist irrigation and sprinklers. They are surface water pumps, suitable for pumping from shallow wells, rivers, streams or lakes making them ideal for making efficient use of Ethiopia’s extensive surface water resources.
All Futurepump solar pumps are simple to set up, with suction hoses and solar panels included, but what really sets them apart is the manufacturer backed 10-year warranty. All spares and repairs over the 10 years after purchase are free of charge, meaning reliability and assurance of supply for a decade.
Helen Yapp, Managing Director at Futurepump said “Less than 5% of surface water in Ethiopia is currently used but farmers are crying out for irrigation, especially through the dry seasons. Futurepump solar pumps are designed to withstand tough field conditions to meet this need for decades to come.”
Berhane Berhe Water Works Construction is now ready to supply solar pumps directly in Ethiopia, driving forward a reliable irrigation solution whilst also eliminating an expensive dependency to petrol pumps.
