How Off-Grid Solar Systems Enable Rural Electrification
Introduction Electricity is a vital component in improving the quality of life and driving socio-economic growth. However, despite significant advancements in technology and infrastructure,
The paper recommends the adoption of the FINPLAN tool for appraising off-grid energy projects and power infrastructure expansions. Off-grid energy projects particularly solar mini-grids, play a crucial role in electrifying remote areas with limited access to centralized grids.
Section 2.2 provides an initial overview of issues that hinder access to grid electricity in rural areas, and indicates that of-grid solar systems are expected to play a significant role. This is followed by a discussion of the status of electricity access and cooling access in rural of-grid areas and the challenges to expanding cooling services.
As a result, 650 million people globally, and 570 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, are expected to remain without electricity access by 2030 (Tracking SDG7 Report 2019). Off-grid solar (OGS) energy provides an opportunity to increase energy access.
