Welcome back to the Electricity for Africa, the newsletter that brings you a curated selection of articles on rural electrification, renewable energy and microgrids in Africa! I hope you enjoy this newsletter
I have a question for you, sometimes I do find articles on rural electrification in French language. I thought it may be a good idea to include them to keep tabs on developments in francophone Africa. Even if you don’t speak the language, you could always have them translated automatically. Would you be happy to see articles in French in this newsletter? Let me know your thoughts 😊
