For universal electrification to become reality by 2030, some 238 million households will need to gain electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and island nations. Mini-grids can serve almost half of this total – an estimated 111 million households. This week, Switched On speaks with Takehiro Kawahara, head of Frontier Power for BloombergNEF, and senior modeling analyst Ulimmeh Ezekiel, about a report they did in collaboration with the Sustainable Energy for All initiative on the global mini-grid market -- the challenges, drivers, opportunities, and potential impact on electrification.
This episode is based on a report titled State of the Global Mini-Grids Market 2020. BNEF clients can access this report on bnef.com or BNEF Mobile, or at BNEF on the Bloomberg Terminal. Listeners can also find this report at seforall.org.
Switched On is hosted this week by Dana Perkins and Mark Taylor.
