Se4All's High Impact Opportunity on Mini-Grids
Today, more than 1.2 billion people in the world, are living in darkness and do not have access to the national grid. In this dire situation, mini-grids could be a viable solutions to promote energy access for all. Furthermore, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IEA) in 2011 forcasted that over 40% of the installed capacity to achieve universal energy access by 2030 will be most likely delivered via mini/micro-grids.
With these thoughts in mind, the SE4All has included mmini-grid into the High Impact Opportunity on Mini-Grids (HIO). HIO provides a framework for accelerating the investments and deployments of mini-grids.
