Decentralised Rural Infrastructure: Energy as a Service Approach in the Context of Universal Access in Sub Saharan Africa

This report investigates the potential of implementing the Energy as a Service (EaaS) model to bridge the significant energy access gap in Sub-Saharan Africa. With over 730 million people in the region lacking basic access to electricity, and projections showing that 620 million people will remain unconnected by 2030, approaches like EaaS are critical to achieving universal access.

Financing and Scaling Productive Use of Energy

Productive use of (renewable) energy (PUE) is commonly recognised as a potential contributor to economic development, particularly in food value chains. This paper focuses on the wider context of how to structure, scale and finance PUE as a sustainable business model. Furthermore, this publication emphasises the underlying financing challenges for PUE projects and companies in all application contexts (urban, rural, industrial, food value chain, etc.) and presents recommendations that may be integrated in financiers’ and investors’ approaches to PUE to better support the growth and financial sustainability of the sector.
