Minigrid scale-up efforts are currently falling short of meeting SDG 7 targets, particularly in Africa, where private minigrid companies must evolve and professionalize to achieve sustainable growth. With limited capital available for building the next generation of top-tier utilities, the sector faces a significant corporate financing gap. At the same time project finance tailored to minigrid needs remains scarce.

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of minigrid financing with experts Cliff Aron from GreenMax Capital and John Ouko from the Africa Minigrid Developers Association (AMDA). We explore the historical challenges of rural electrification, emphasizing the urgent need for development capital to support emerging companies. We also discuss the transformative impact of investing $100 million in human resource development for selected developers and the creation of a billion-dollar minigrid infrastructure fund to attract private investment.

Our conversation addresses the potential for a paradigm shift in minigrid financing, examining current and future financing instruments that could support this transition. We also consider the role of government in facilitating this shift and how minigrid companies might need to adapt their business models to align with the evolving financing landscape.

Tune in to discover how innovative financing solutions can pave the way for a sustainable and scalable minigrid sector.
