Many rural communities in Africa do not have access to the national electricity network or the associated benefits in health and quality of life provided by electrical services such as lighting and refrigeration. The installation of modular energy technologies that can be operated independently provides a solution for these areas. SERG's work in this area covers a range of geographical areas and generation scenarios. \r\n\r\nThe nearest e4D mini-grid to Nairobi, is Kitonyoni.
