Recognising the urgent need for innovative energy solutions, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) supports access to clean energy by increasing the financial viability and promoting scaled-up commercial investment in low-carbon minigrids in Africa through its Africa Minigrids Programme.
As other regions grapple with similar energy challenges, the success of the mini-grid
demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of investing in renewable energy solutions.
By showcasing the economic, social and environmental advantages of solar-powered mini-grids, the installation inspires confidence and spurs further investment in clean energy infrastructure.
The installation of the solar PV mini-grid, powered by solar energy, marks a significant departure from traditional fossil fuel-based systems. By hamessing the abundant sunlight that Chad enjoys year-round, the solution reduces carbon emissions and offers a sustainable alternative to conventional energy sources.
