Closed

The development objective of the Rural Electrification Hybrid System Project for Mali is to expand access to modern energy services in rural areas of the recipient and to increase renewable energy generation in target areas. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is service improvement and extension of existing mini-grids. This component will increase renewable energy generation capacity in existing rural power stations supplying rural mini grids and expand those mini-grids, through: addition of approximately 4.8 MWp of capacity through hybrid systems, including photovoltaic panels, inverters, batteries and control electronics, and mini-grid extension and densification. The second component of the project is development of off-grid lighting markets and energy efficiency. This component aims to: catalyze the markets for off-grid lighting and solar lanterns in targeted rural areas, and improve energy efficiency and promote a rational and efficient use of electricity on targeted mini-grids. The third component of the project is project management support and capacity building. This component supports project management and implementation, capacity building and technical assistance to rural energy sector stakeholders, monitoring and evaluation.
