A win-win for improved energy access
Is access to mini-grids for productive use translating to improved lives for end users? What does this journey look like for customers who gain access to energy?

Two thousand mini-grid customers are advancing up the energy ladder toward clean energy, improving their quality of life and enabling income-generating activities for about a quarter of these users, often through small businesses. In an interview, Kat Harrison from 60 Decibels discusses their 2024 report, “Why Off-Grid Matters,” which offers a detailed analysis of the data on ownership of modern off-grid energy products and their impact on access, behaviors, and social dynamics.
