The Mini-Grid Business

Send us a text

Interconnected Mini-Grids provide reliable electricity to underserved main-grid connected customers.
They are a new phenomenon in the mini-grid space and beyond that provide profitable investment opportunities to mini-grid companies thanks to significantly larger electricity demand in semi-urban areas, where interconnected mini-grids are typically situated compared to rural sites, where isolated mini-grids can typically be found.
Can interconnected mini-grids become the "leapfrogging" opportunity that the sector has been waiting for?
Aaron Cheng from Power Gen, operating an interconnected mini-grid in Nigeria and Chris Greacen who published a book covering the interconnected mini-grid subject discuss the above subjects with host Nico Peterschmidt.
