What is Malawi's energy supply?
Malawi’s energy supply is dominated by biomass (firewood, charcoal, agricultural and industrial wastes) accounting for 84% of the total primary energy supply. The total installed electricity capacity is currently at 351 MW with around 98% Hydro on the shire river.
How can decentralised solar mini-grids improve energy access in Malawi?
The project addresses the challenges of energy access in Malawi, where less than 12% of the population are connected to the national grid, limiting development and economic growth. Decentralised solar mini-grids offer a low carbon and reliable source of electricity in areas unlikely to receive a grid connection in the near future.
What is a mini-grid in Malawi?
Being the first of its kind in Malawi, the mini-grid is cheaper, quicker to implement and potentially more financially sustainable than larger capacity mini-grids currently deployed in the country. This new method of rural electrification also allows for more electricity and a higher impact than the solar home systems offered on the market.
