Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Rural clean energy services company Husk Power Systems has launched a new initiative aimed at accelerating partnerships between the firm and governments across sub-Saharan Africa to accelerate electrification leveraging minigrids.<\/p>\n

Husk Power wants to partner with national and sub-national governments from least developed countries (LDCs) to build 200 minigrids as part of the public-private partnerships initiative launched.<\/p>\n

The energy firm will fund, own and operate the projects and is seeking governments that are willing to provide the company with a 20-to-25-year concession to own projects and provide consumers with cost-reflective tariffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs LDC governments in Sub-Saharan Africa look to roll out integrated energy systems that will be both \ufb01scally sound and climate resilient, Husk is ready for action. We have the scale and a proven business model, and it is now time for SDG7-focused public-private partnerships to move from pilot phase to full-\ufb02edged market interventions that can achieve radical scale,\u201d Manoj Sinha, Husk Power\u2019s Co-Founder and CEO, said.<\/p>\n

The launch of the mechanism comes at a time a lack of adequate electricity is stalling progress across some 33 LDCS in Africa where on average only 36% of the population have access to electricity.<\/p>\n

Minigrids have the potential to accelerate consumer access to energy while alleviating poverty, improving health and education and creating jobs and income opportunities, according to a press statement released by Husk Power.<\/p>\n

The company has deployed 200 minigrids which are in operation in India, Tanzania and Nigeria and has a target increase the portfolio to 400 in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n
