Powering Healthcare in Madagascar: Market Assessment and Roadmap for Health Facility Electrification

The report identifies a significant energy gap in Madagascar's healthcare system, where approximately 75% of basic healthcare centres lack electricity or have only a single solar refrigerator. To address this, it proposes a three-phase roadmap from 2024 to 2032 targeting 2,274 facilities, requiring an estimated USD 83 million investment. Recommended solutions include stand-alone solar technology, innovative business models like Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS), and cross-sectoral integration between health and energy stakeholders.

• Madagascar's healthcare system consists of 3,898 facilities, with roughly 75% of basic healthcare centres either lacking electricity entirely or possessing only one independent solar refrigerator.
• The potential market for health facility electrification by 2030 is estimated at 2,274 facilities, necessitating a total investment of USD 83 million over the next decade.
• The proposed electrification roadmap spans three phases from 2024 to 2032: Phase 1 focuses on structuring and pilot projects; Phase 2 aims for at least 1,700 facilities to have stand-alone solar plants with sustainable business models; and Phase 3 intends to provide all basic health centres and district referral hospitals with reliable electricity.
