Green Mini-Grid Market Development Programme (GMG MDP) - Market Intelligence

Description: This engagement was part of the Market Development Programme (MDP), a wider programme of the African Development Bank which has the ultimate objective of fostering access to electricity across Africa by promoting the development of Green Mini Grids where they are technically and economically a better option than the extension of the main grid.

The main objectives of this proposed engagement were twofold: a) the development, based on best-practices, of a methodology to assess the physical potential for Green Mini Grids at the country level that can be applied across Africa; b) the application of the methodology in five pilot countries to be completed with the publication of five country-level reports with a detailed analysis of the potential for GMGs in each country. The Bank now intends to replicate the methodology in other African countries.
