What is an mini-grid system ?
Mini-grids electrical generation systems of less than 10MW that serve customers through local distribution networks. They can help countries meet electricity access targets faster and, in some cases, more cost-effectively. By generating electricity close to where it’s needed, and with the advantage of flexibility and scale, mini-grids can become the standard choice for the millions of rural people who live far from the central grid.
