This has resulted in increasing energy access, as well as a range of other new opportunities for public infrastructure, such as street lighting and the electrification of transport. The empirical contribution of this paper hinges on a set of four distinct illustrative examples of distributed energy technologies.
Local governments in Africa most commonly also have no electricity-related mandates beyond the provision of street lighting, and often play a minimal role in national electricity systems.
The promise is that technologies that are smaller and distributed will deliver a range of benefits, including enabling infrastructural innovations and expanding sustainable access, notably by empowering local authorities.
In addition to the ice and fish, EnerGrow, also the productive use partner at the Kiwumu site, planned to support 200 entrepreneurs to develop local ‘productive usages of energy’, providing loans for small-scale appliances which could support the growth of local businesses.
