A case study on the implementation of solar-powered cold rooms in Kenya using a Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) model to reduce post-harvest losses for small farmers and traders.

This case study describes Project ASTHA, a collaboration between the NGO PRADAN and Schneider Electric in Sehal Bara Soli, Jharkhand, India. The project replaced unsustainable diesel pumps with solar-powered pumps and installed solar microgrids to address erratic power supplies and monsoon dependence, resulting in increased agricultural productivity, reduced rural-urban migration, and enhanced socio-economic opportunities for women.

This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) to secure a venue and catering services for the Lesotho Energy Access Dialogue (LEAD) 2024, scheduled for November 13-14, 2024, in Maseru, Lesotho.

KAMIM Technologies Ltd. implemented the CoolCycle project in Epe, Lagos State, Nigeria, utilizing a 15 kWp solar system and 30 kWh battery storage to power cold storage for farmers. The project has reduced post-harvest losses by up to 90%, created jobs for 48 women and 16 artisans, and expanded its cooling capacity to 12 tons due to high demand. Funded by ZE-Gen, the project employs a subscription-based 'as-a-Service' commercial model.

A case study by enee.io on a 48V battery bank at a bank branch in Lagos, Nigeria, identifying that overcharging was reducing the battery lifespan from a potential 4.0 years to 2.1 years and increasing diesel consumption.

A case study by the Alliance for Renewable Electrification detailing a portable solar power system developed by GadgetroniX for use in remote locations in Tanzania, specifically within the Manyara Region.

The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) issued a Request for Proposals on 5 August 2024 for branding and catering services for the ARE Industry Action Dialogue & Reception, scheduled for 19 September 2024 in Brussels, Belgium.

This case study describes the implementation of a hybrid microgrid on Mayreau Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, completed in May 2022. The project involved the installation of ComAp's InteliSys NTC Hybrid system to integrate solar photovoltaics (PV) and a 100 kW battery energy storage system (BESS) with existing diesel generators to reduce fuel costs and noise pollution.

This executive summary outlines the 'Accelerating Private Sector Investments in Green Mini-Grids' report, which examines the Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) mini-grids sector in Africa and the collaborative efforts required to overcome barriers to deployment.

The Nigerian DRE market is growing rapidly, driven by a high energy access deficit (88.5 million unserved) and a heavy reliance on expensive diesel generators. While the mini-grid and stand-alone solar sectors have seen significant growth and commercialization—supported by major initiatives like the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP)—barriers remain, including high interest rates (25-35%), currency volatility, and low local manufacturing capacity. Productive Use of Energy (PUE) in agriculture is a key emerging focus, though it remains largely grant-dependent.

Aptech has implemented two hybrid solar-diesel water pumping projects in Somaliland. In Hargeisa, the Laasdhure aquifer project adds 4 million liters of drinking water daily via three boreholes. In Dilla, the project rehabilitates valley dams and uses shallow wells to provide 50m3 of water daily for human and livestock use.
