6th Mini-Grid Africa Mini-Grids Summit

  

The Sub-Saharan Africa off-grid population is forecasted to rise from 600 million to 698 million people by 2030.  Mini grids – combining solar, wind and battery storage technology – are now the least-cost option for electrifying Africa today.  Various projects utilizing different business models and technologies are being rolled-out.

We invite you to join us next month at the 2021 Virtual Summit where you will get the latest insights and country updates from enabling business environments, regulatory and institutional frameworks to public private partnership, access to finance to productive uses, community engagements and hybrid technologies.
