Distributed power, localized benefits: how decentralization of energy approvals in Africa can unlock industrial sectors

Wired for change: how African utilities must adapt in the age of distributed energy

The challenges African energy utility leaders face will worsen in the age of distributed energy. History shows that, despite the risk, evolution is the key to survival.

Distributed Energy Resources: what we learned from regulators about managing the energy transition in Africa

Speaking to African regulators about how they balance the benefits of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) with the need to protect centralized utilities unearths the technical challenges and capacity constraints on the path to grids of the future

In Africa, industrial enterprises struggle to access affordable power – but distributed energy technology is changing the game

For Africa to industrialize, stable and affordable power is needed. Distributed, clean energy systems offer a solution to bolster the industrial sector and enable businesses to focus on production-critical outcomes, rather than just keeping the lights on.

Electrifying Africa’s roads with catalytic distributed renewable energy

Across sub-Saharan Africa, a transportation revolution is revving up. A nascent electric mobility sector is gaining momentum, with electric two-wheelers (E2Ws) emerging as the most promising sector. In countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, motorcycles have long been the lifeblood of urban transport, popular for parcel delivery and taxi services. Now, they’re at the forefront of an e-mobility transition.
