Solar PV micro-grids in Malawi
Energy poverty constrains economic growth and livelihoods, a significant challenge for Malawi where 82% live without access to electricity.
Solar PV micro-grids offer a cost competitive, low carbon solution to addressing SDG7 whilst enhancing socio-economic wellbeing through improved quality of life, access to public services, job creation and entrepreneurship opportunities.
As a relatively new technology in Malawi, there is a recognised lack of proven business models, field experience and data on microgrid performance and impact, which is stymying their wide scale deployment.
