Owing to the large population size and limited access to the grid, Madagascar has a large addressable mar-ket for solar solutions with a potential customer base of 2.5 to 5 million households for solar lamps and market-entry solar home systems.
The project will develop decentralized and digital elec-tricity infrastructure based on renewable energies in the north of Madagascar. The installation of nano-grids supplied with energy by solar panels will allow nearly 40,000 users to have access to electricity.
Recognizing that large parts of the country may remain beyond the reach of the national grid, the gov-ernment of Madagascar is embracing the potential of- fered by off-grid solar technologies. Thus, the strat-egy targets, among other things, the deployment of mini-grids and the extension of off-grid solar energy.
A costly expansion of the national electricity grid is a long way off and not the most cost-effective way either. Madagascar is one of the sunniest countries in the world with more than 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, so decentralised solar power supply to rural areas is not only easier but also cheaper.
