Rural electrification efforts are often constrained by limited electricity usage, which challenges the economic viability of microgrid projects. Low electricity consumption also curtails economic productivity and living standards, as essential tasks in farming and other sectors continue to be performed manually. This vicious cycle keeps communities impoverished and electrification rates low.
On 27 June at 15:00 CEST RePower organised a webinar to explore the transformative opportunities and challenges of leveraging productive uses of renewable energy (PUE) in rural communities in Africa. Tina Möller, Programme Manager at Nefco will present BGFA and our PUE activities. Other speakers from Worldbank, Sustainable Energy for All, GIZ, Africa Greentec.
