Innovative solutions for off-grid access to energy
Projects led by French companies or NGOs for off-grid communities
Présentation
At the beginning of 2018, the Call for Proposals « Innovative solutions for off-grid access to energy » has led to the selection of 9 projects from companies and NGOs working on this topic. These projects, which are presented in this document, develop technological, organizational and business models innovations that are likely to ensure a decrease of the solutions' costs and a stronger involvement and appropriation by the concerned populations. Nowadays, direct off-grid access to energy can guarantee economic development through the implementation of reliable and lasting solutions, going beyond the lighting needs of households: irrigation for agriculture, energy services at the village level, water desalination... Microgrids and nano-grids projects prove to be solutions that in some situations are more competitive and accessible than the extension of national grids.
