The U.S. African Development Foundation is partnering with USAID and
GE Africa to promote innovative solutions that develop, scale-up or
extend the use of proven technologies for off-grid energy – reaching
communities not served by existing power grids. In January 2016 we
reached our goal of 50 African Energy Entrepreneurs for Off-Grid Energy.
The Off-Grid Energy Challenge awards grants of up to $100,000 each to African companies and organizations providing off-grid solutions that deploy renewable resources and power local economic activities.
Challenge
winners will have near-term solutions to power the needs of productive
and commercial activities, including agriculture production and
processing, off-farm businesses, and commercial enterprises.
