Description
Description | The Twaake Integrated Energy Minigrid pilot launched in 2021 in Kiwumu, Uganda, delivered electricity access 3.5 times faster than traditional grid extension, reduced household connection costs, generated a 3,000% rise in demand, and boosted business revenue by 68%. The hybrid minigrid included 40 kW of solar and a 140-kWh battery, supplying power to homes, businesses, street lights, and a grain milling operation. The pilot was led by Umeme, Uganda's largest power utility, coordinated by Power for All as part of the Utilities 2.0 coalition, and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. All customers served during the pilot are now connected to the national grid, and the minigrid has been decommissioned. |
