About this project
Description
The proposed UNDP-GEF project will address barriers that are specifically related to the investment in decentralized mini-grids. The RE source can be either Solar PV or Wind depending on the resource availability. But because there is still no experience in wind throughout the country, the focus will be on Solar.
Objectives
Unlocking private sector investment in the sustainable off-grid sector (solar based mini-grids and SHS) for increased access to reliable and affordable electricity to peri urban and rural areas of Djibouti.Component 2: Showcasing Solar-battery mini-grids.
