End-user #subsidies schemes help bridge the #energyaccess ‘affordability gap’. But they are complex & must be designed carefully. Join us at @GOGLA’s upcoming webinar to take a deep dive into innovative company models to increase affordability. Register 👉🏾 us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…
What are some of the lessons the energy sector can learn to promote #offgrid solar uptake in #SSA? Have a look at some of @ACE_TAF's lessons this past 4 years. #solarenergy
