Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Africa Minigrids Program is a regional energy access program led by UNDP in partnership with Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and the African Development Bank.
The core consists of three parts - photovoltaic power generation, energy storage batteries, and charging piles. These three parts form a microgrid, using photovoltaic power generation to store electricity in the energy storage battery. When needed, the energy storage battery supplies the electricity to the charging pile.
The Somalia's National Project under the GEF Africa Mini-grids Program will increase access to clean energy and improve service delivery. GEF and UNDP support will contribute to the achievements of targets envisaged in the power sector master plan." — H.E. Jama Taqal, Federal Government of Somalia Minister of Energy and Water Resources
UNDP modelling estimates that minigrids are the least-cost option to provide electricity to 265 million people in the AMP's 21 countries, for a total investment opportunity of $US 65 billion.
