Senegal wants to give its population permanent access to electricity by 2025. However, half of the country\u2019s approximately 17 million residents live in rural areas, sometimes a long way from the national utility grid. The government is therefore looking to decentralized and environmentally friendly energy solutions. The government\u2019s ASER300 project is bringing electricity to 300 villages all around the country with mini-grids, which include PV modules, inverters, batteries, and cooling systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drought, arid and saline soil, lack of rainfall, forest dieback \u2013 Senegal is feeling the full impact of climate change. This has consequences that go beyond the population\u2019s health and food security. More and more young people in rural areas are also migrating to big cities in search of better prospects. The agriculture sector, which already has enough problems as a result of climate change, is now also facing a labor shortage. The democratic country on Africa\u2019s west coast has therefore decided to massively expand its infrastructure in order to offer young people better prospects again. One of its aims is to give everyone in Senegal permanent access to the utility grid by 2025<\/a>. The main focus is on expansion in rural areas, such as with the ASER300 project, which is bringing electricity to 300 villages using mini-grids. Best of all, the technology for the energy supply comes inside a standard shipping container. Once in place, all it needs is sunshine. And there is plenty of that in Senegal.<\/p>\n
