Barely one year after EDF and Off Grid Electric (OGE) launched a joint off-grid electricity supply solution for the Ivorian market, the offering has already been adopted by more than 10 000 households with approximately 50 000 people now enjoying access to electricity... With 600 million Africans not having access to electricity, off-grid solutions address a vital need and provide a substitute- in the form of solar power- for other CO2-emitting fuels (kerosene, candles, paraffin, etc .), whilst also supplementing the development of traditional systems.
