We are ready to drive the conversation on sustainable energy solutions with a powerful delegation at COP29 Azerbaijan 💪
Let's connect in Baku from 11-22 November!
Exploring the powerful synergy between #minigrids and SMEs at #eaif2024! Community engagement, integration of productive uses since planning and a portfolio approach is key for successful SMEs connected to mini-grids! We can do this! #RenewableEnergy #SustainableDevelopment
#eaif2024 day 1 brought big insights! Forecasting demand is tough, but with abundant and reliable data we can make better decisions. And we can also create demand! Investors will be looking for this & fit between business plans and energy needs. Excited for more! #EnergyAccess
Light changes lives! 💡
For most of us, light is barely an afterthought, but there are still millions without access to it. We are on a mission to change this through mini-grids, let´s make it happen! #InternationalLiightDay #lightday2024

🌐 May has been a good month for partnership-building and knowledge-sharing in the #minigrid sector! We are looking forward to see the new opportunities and progress that they unlock!
#RenewableEnergy #EnergyNews
🌟 #CommunityEngagement for successful #MiniGrids!
Community workshops with COMET unlock insights to tailor systems to customer needs and willingness to pay, and help communities understand to get higher customer recruitment and buy-in!💡 #EnergyAccess
Only a few days left to apply! Awesome to see initiatives supporting agro-processing equipment adoption in mini-grids with a gender lens 👏. Will be important to work with communities to find the optimal solutions! @OdysseyEnergyS bit.ly/4bm8N7x #EnergyAccess #MiniGrids
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
🔌 Are electric cooking and mini-grids a good match? Our colleagues at @UKMECS think so! Check out our summary bit.ly/4bl1zkh, or dive into the full report! bit.ly/3Wk69L8
A key report has been launched on the findings of COSMO – the MECS cooking support on mini-grids challenge fund – which shows that #eCooking is feasible and cost-effective in many mini-grid contexts. Access the report: mecs.org.uk/wp-content/uploa… #minigrids #CleanCooking

"Private business alone can’t bring energy to the last mile", says Aneri Pradhan in a thought-provoking article on @NextBillion. Sometimes people just cannot pay for electricity. But how do we know if that is the case? Well, it comes down to empowering and engaging communities
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
#MiniGrids + PUE = win-win for communities and operators! But how do you know if they will be adopted and how they will affect loads? COMET helps you! COMET gauges interest and WTP for the extra electricity, and estimates the timing of the new loads. Go to cometapp.net
Great news for #MiniGrids! The @BGFAfrica Annual Results Report showcases investments in mini-grids in Liberia and Zambia and mentions promising developments in DRC, Mozambique, and Uganda. To realise this potential, finance will be crucial, but community engagement is key too
By involving communities throughout mini-grid projects, we can overcome several challenges and ensure sustainable solutions that meet their needs. This can empower communities & amplify the impact of investments! Report in: bit.ly/49L5k15 #EnergyAccess #SustainableEnergy
