Africa is the last big part of the world to be electrified. It’s interesting that it will be doing it differently, and that the solution seems to be shifting decisively to decentralized renewable energy.

Africa, like many other places, is plagued by corruption. I wonder if the decentralized aspect of mini-grids is a counter to that. It’s harder for the people at the top to skim off their cut when mini-grids are so small and being built at the local community level.
