Mini-Grid Innovation Insight: Harmonizing tariffs through smart

A new study from CrossBoundary''s Innovation Lab shows that reducing electricity tariffs for mini-grid customers in rural Sierra Leone led to a significant increase in energy use. However, the study also recommends targeted policy interventions to

Mini-Grids Bring Electricity to 0.6% of Sierra Leone''s Population

As Sierra Leone aims for nearly universal electrification by 2030, GIS-based analyses suggest that about 26.3 percent of the population will need to rely on off-grid solar solutions. This highlights the critical role that mini-grids and off-grid technologies will play in bridging the energy gap in rural areas.

Mini-Grid Market Opportunity Assessment: Sierra Leone

the green mini-grid market in Sierra Leone. Green-mini grids include mini-grids powered by renewable energy resources – solar radiation, wind, hydropower or biomass – either exclusively, or in combination with diesel generation.

Sierra Leone: Clean energy boosted with mini-grid installation

Borup, a town in Sierra Leone, has recently been electrified with clean energy thanks to the installation of a 27kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) and 85kWh battery mini-grid. The mini-grid will provide 150 electricity connections and will directly benefit 1,300 people, powering households, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and public institutions.

Implementing smart grids in African contexts

With a high potential for renewable energy production, an economy in expansion and areas disconnected from the electricity grid, Africa has some of the best opportunities to experiment with smart grid technologies.

Lessons in Sierra Leone and Uganda for scaling up

Winch Energy Ltd is close to completing a large-scale project to build 49 solar PV mini-grids in Sierra Leone and Uganda that will connect over 55,000 people with electricity for the first time.

Battery rental project powers affordable energy in Sierra Leone

The pay-as-you-go smart battery rental system, developed by Mobile Power, supplies affordable, clean energy to poor households and enterprises in off-grid communities. The batteries are charged at solar charging stations before being delivered to customers, thereby removing the need for dangerous traditional petrol generators and reducing

Freetown, Sierra Leone – 13 December 2024: The Government of Sierra Leone has prioritized energy development in key national strategies to meet the growing demand for electricity and to address the need for new generation capacity.To meet the growing demand for electricity in rural

Electricity Sector Reform Roadmap (2017-2030)

Smart grid technology may be implemented with mini-grids. Upgrade of a conventional grid to a smart grid may be necessary as a result of a feed-in tariff policy where multiple renewable generators inject electricity along an existing distribution grid.
