Energy for Productive Use

Over 60% of rural agro-production zones lack reliable power. Rural electrification is the binding constraint on agro-processing and cold chain infrastructure.

Where mini-grids meet agricultural demand = investment sweet spot. Decentralized energy is the fastest path to powering rural agro-processing.

Where sun and crops meet — optimal locations for solar-powered agro-processing. ECOWAS has some of the highest solar irradiance in the world. Toggle to the 1km heatmap for continuous spatial detail.
