Solar PV and battery technologies are more affordable than ever—opening new doors for renewable microgrids to deliver clean, reliable electricity to underserved communities across Africa. But while the technology is ready, the regulations often aren’t. Without stable, transparent, and supportive regulation, even the most promising microgrid projects can struggle to survive.

Key regulatory hurdles remain: licensing and permitting procedures are often slow and complex; tariffs may not reflect the real costs of running a microgrid; and the threat of grid encroachment creates uncertainty for investors. Add to this the complications of inconsistent policies and fiscal ambiguity, and it’s easy to see why scaling up remains so difficult.

The good news? Around the world, regulators and governments have learned what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to supporting microgrids. In this essential online session, we’ll explore how these lessons can be adapted to the African context to unlock private investment and expand access to renewable electricity.
