Recent statistics confirm that an estimated 750-800 million people don’t have access to #electricity . These stats have led to the global efforts to establish minigrids in Africa's most underdeveloped regions. Read more about the impact of #minigrids : bit.ly/3WccDMf

This #LaborDay let's talk about community labor in #MiniGrids . It is often essential, yet many times it goes unpaid. We can make it rewarding through meaningful engagement that help communities make the most out of the labor they invest. Longer comment on bit.ly/4bhUaSL

What we have been doing through banks and other financing entities for back up power in Nigeria is a waste of time. A friend told me that there was more money made from building solar minigrids in Nigeria than keeping them running. Maybe a new distribution layer is what we need.

Everyone will be better off if we can engage communities, make sure we understand them, and that they understand the goods and services that we can offer. That way, we can make the good decisions on the best way to electrify a community #minigrids bit.ly/44vVeQV

A new African Development Bank Group report argues that challenges in financing, policy, technology & skills enhancement must be overcome to support the deployment of distributed renewable energy #minigrids across Africa 🌍

Your friend is very correct. I have built several minigrids in Nigeria. Developers make money from building than running it. Not a profitable venture in the long run.

In Nigeria, agriculture employs a significant two-thirds of the workforce.

Integrating agricultural processing with minigrid electricity can improve livelihoods and reduce electricity prices for consumers.
