The African Development Bank-administered Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (Sefa) in July approved a grant of $994,270 to promote green minigrids. Niger aims to provide 15% of rural access to electricity using offgrid and minigrid systems by 2020. The Sefa-supported programme, which will be implemented by the National Directorate for Renewable and Domestic Energy, is expected to invest $10m in renewable energy projects by 2018. It will prepare green minigrid policy and a regulatory framework to facilitate private sector involvement by providing support to the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum.
