Clean, reliable power for Africa: The potential for mini-grids .

Two thirds of rural African households lack access to electricity. Mini-grids – electricity grids which are separate from the main energy grid – can offer a way to reach unconnected areas. When they are powered by clean, renewable energy, mini-grids can offer electricity access to rural populations with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.

For more than two years, the Africa LEDS Partnership has convened a Mini-grids Community of Practice that has enabled professionals to exchange best practices and financing advice on renewably-powered mini-grids.

The LEDS Global Partnership is proud to share a short film highlighting the potential of mini-grids to address the energy challenges in rural Africa, while tackling the global challenge of climate change.
