- Create local jobs in installation, maintenance, and grid management.
Target Beneficiaries
- Community cooperatives managing micro-grids.
- Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) reliant on stable power.
- Member financial institutions financing energy projects.
- Rural and peri-urban communities lacking grid connectivity.
Eligible Projects
- Installation of solar micro-grids managed by community entities.
