Off-Grid Energy Sector
Expanding off-grid energy solutions is essential for bridging the electricity access gap in Africa, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Decentralised systems such as mini-grids and standalone solar solutions offer a viable alternative to costly grid expansion to increase energy access, economic empowerment, and climate resilience.
However, challenges remain in ensuring affordability, long-term sustainability, and regulatory coherence. Effective policies and regulations must encourage investments, foster innovation, and protect consumers while integrating off-grid solutions into national energy strategies to create a cohesive and resilient energy ecosystem.
