Mini-Grids: A Sustainable Solution For Electrifying (Rural) Areas Without Energy Access

Mini-grids are considered to be a crucial solution for bringing power to the 761 million people around the world currently lacking access to safe, clean, and reliable energy. Especially in rural areas lacking central grid infrastructure, renewable energy-powered mini-grids could make a major contribution towards bridging the electrification gap. To take stock of the potential of mini-grids; provide insights into the current state of their implementation; assess the associated investment climate; and identify the challenges hindering their widespread application, Solarplaza has created an infographic with core data, details, and context.
