Project Description
Mercy Corps is promoting the use of renewable solar energy for business activities in these four villages as part of the project. For this purpose, first, a market study of 24 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is conducted to identify their energy needs. Second, an increase of 100 % in the output of the local solar power plant is realised by upgrading existing technology and improving the connection to individual households. Thereafter, the SMEs receive economic mentoring through support in the elaboration of business plans, provision of management and selection of equipment. In addition, the SMEs are connected to technology suppliers and financiers. The aim of the project is to create new jobs, an increase in the turnover of atleast 15 % for the 24 SMEs and the implementation of an awareness campaign on electricity consumption reaching out to at least 200 people.
