Niger: Mini-grid policy

The Ministry of Energy plans to recruit a consultant to help draw up a green mini-grid policy. The project has financial and technical support from the African Development Bank through the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa. The project aims to help improve access to clean, sustainable and affordable energy for all Nigerien households. It will define a policy and regulatory framework to promote and stimulate private investment in order to double the capacity of existing systems or to install new renewable mini-grids.
