I. Overview

Poor access to energy increases economic inequality for rural regions and hampers economic growth. Rural social institutions, such as health centres, schools, orphanages and vocational trainings centres, are particularly affected by energy access challenges as they are usually underfunded and located too remotely located to be connected to existing electrical grids. What makes their situation even more difficult is the fact that they require particularly stable energy supply over comparatively long periods of time and sometimes also for larger groups of people at once.

Health centres need cold storage opportunities for medicines, lighting for treatments at night, and energy to keep medical equipment running. Training centres and schools as well as orphanages can benefit from electricity access to keep training equipment running, use lighting and technology to enhance the learning experience and provide for students and children using energy to cook or cool food.

The Green People’s Energy for Africa initiative works specifically to provide decentralised renewable energy solutions to social institutions which contributes to improving well-being in communities and increasing the local value creation. In addition to supplying solar systems and equipment, there is also a need for long-term, partner-based approaches to infrastructure maintenance and financing.

II. Case Studies

The following case studies and project factsheets detail the GBE energy interventions in social institutions such as hospitals and schools. They not only show how public structures can benefit from energy interventions but also how to set them up sustainably.
