Energy poverty is a significant challenge worldwide, not just limiting electricity but access to essential components of daily life. Here, Kristina Skierka, CEO of nonprofit renewable energy organisation Power for All, explains how a project to develop decentralised renewable energy combined with traditional grid systems in rural Uganda led to more rapid electrification of public and commercial facilities, and at reduced cost, compared to the traditional approach.
Microgrids are often mistaken for small-scale power networks, but they are robust localized grids capable of operating independently or in conjunction with national grids. These systems, crucial in today's push towards sustainable energy, are becoming ever more important for industrial sites because of potential global energy shortages and decarbonization goals.
