SustainSolar: Switch On for the First EASE Mini-grid (Malawi)
The project deployed a containerised 12kW solar generation unit in Mthembanji, Dedza District, Malawi, providing 220 V power to 60 domestic and commercial customers. Developed through a collaboration involving the University of Strathclyde, United Purpose, and SustainSolar, the system uses lithium-ion batteries and smart meters to offer a more sustainable and higher-impact alternative to solar home systems. The project has received approval from the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) for electricity sales and serves as a pilot to inform the national scaling of mini-grid operations.
