Off Grid Energy Solutions for Rural Communities

Energy supplies are one of the biggest problems facing African communities and businesses.  In some countries such as Nigeria, electricity in rural areas is non-existent and only occassionaly in the urban zones.   Businesses and familes that can afford it  rely on generators - those that cannot use parafin lights or candles.   UNIDO is supporting the introduction of Energy Kiosks in Kenya.
