State of the Global Mini-grids Market Report 2020
State of the Global Mini-grids Market Report 2020 is a Mini-Grids Partnership report published by BloombergNEF and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL).
The report aims to raise awareness about mini-grids, mobilizing investments in the mini-grid sector and serving as a benchmark to measure progress in the sector for decision-makers. It provides the latest updates on the global mini-grids market and highlights key trends in the industry that, together, can stand as the definitive source of information for stakeholders.
Mini-grids play a critical role in providing electricity to rural communities and businesses and in helping to connect the 900 million people worldwide who currently do not have access. Today the mini-grid market is nascent, despite being the least-cost option for electricity access in many areas. Two challenges need to be overcome for mini-grids to scale up and realize their potential.
The insights found in the report were developed through literature reviews, quantitative analysis and, importantly, interviews with 68 organizations to collect information and data from mini-grid developers, financiers, donor agencies, research institutes, non-profit organizations and technology vendors.
Therefore, this report represents an important cross-institutional collaboration to provide a detailed look at the state of the mini-grids sector.
In addition to the main report, this research includes: Case studies of six countries’ mini-grids markets – Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, India (Bihar), the Phillipines and Indonesia.
