The Next Generation: Why Renewable Energy is Key to Youth Employment in a Growing Global South
Discover how distributed renewable energy (DRE) technologies are revolutionizing youth employment opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa and the Global South, addressing high unemployment rates and driving sustainable development.
A win-win for improved energy access
Is access to mini-grids for productive use translating to improved lives for end users? What does this journey look like for customers who gain access to energy?
Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) can revolutionize Africa's agricultural sector, creating a sustainable, low-emission food system. This transformation can combat climate change, enhance food security, and reduce income inequality.
The Utilities 2.0 Twaake Project, spearheaded by Power for All in Uganda, recently won the Socially Responsible Project Award at the Reuters Global Energy Transition 2024. Recognized for its significant social impact, the project connected over 300 new customers and created 60 businesses rapidly, showcasing an effective model to combat energy poverty. The initiative, integrating centralized and decentralized energy sectors, has earned multiple accolades, demonstrating the power of collaborative efforts to accelerate energy access.
