Description: Mini-grids are considered to be a crucial solution for bringing power to the 761 million people around the world currently lacking access to safe, clean, and reliable energy. Especially in areas lacking central grid infrastructure, renewable energy-powered mini-grids could make a major contribution towards bridging the electrification gap.
Bringing together an expert panel, featuring representatives from development finance institutions World Bank Group, FMO and Proparco, as well as UN-partnered organization SEforALL and project development company Nuru, this webinar will dive into topics like:
- The current state of mini-grid applications in emerging countries around the world;
- Building the business case and addressing the challenges related to financing mini-grids;
- The role governments can play in fostering mini-grid development;
- Effective ways to scale up global mini-grid deployment.
