Minigrids expanding energy access in Burkina Faso, Liberia and Zambia

The Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa (BGFA) programme has signed four further agreements with off-grid energy service companies in Burkina Faso, Liberia and Zambia to support the expansion and scale-up of minigrid connections and sales of high-quality solar home systems.

 

With these projects, the BGFA programme has now contracted ten projects supporting the establishment of more than 580,000 off-grid energy connections to provide energy access for people living in rural and peri-urban areas in Burkina Faso, Liberia and Zambia.
