Abstract

The historical context from which many African utilities have emerged has left a challenging legacy regarding the provision of energy service delivery to all. As rural electrification receives growing attention, a wave of decentralised renewable energy (DRE) technologies and business models are changing the energy service delivery landscape. This Energy Insight focuses specifically on the opportunities for distribution utilities and mini-grid developers to collaborate.

This research is part of the Energy and Economic Growth Applied Research Programme.
