Today, the minigrid market in Africa remains nascent, with the private sector facing a range of barriers holding back investment. Except in a few markets, nearly all current investment in minigrids is in the form of grants and noncommercial, patient capital.
Compared to centralised grids, mini-grids have the potential to provide a lower-cost, quicker-to-market solution. And in rural sub-Saharan Africa, where over 75% of households do not have access to grid electricity 5, mini-grids can help to address the issue of household connectivity.
Few utilities in Africa have built mini-grids with battery storage. As mini-grids will be owned by utilities, there is no competition when the grid arrives in an area. In addition, permitting is likely to be less of a challenge for public authorities.
