1/2 #SOGREA has entered a new phase in 🇸🇱.
We've moved beyond applications to the work of getting projects built on the ground. ⚡
At a Bidders Workshop in Freetown this week, we’re helping qualified mini-grid developers to turn proposals into implementation-ready projects. 👇

2/2 Regulators, financiers& developers are in the same room to solve licensing, tariffs, land access issues for successful deployment.
Funded by @EUinSierraLeone,@DanishMFA & implemented by @UNOPS & @SEforALLorg this is how we build a sustainable market for #UniversalEnergyAccess

#UniversalEnergyAccess isn't just about tech or finance.
It requires an ecosystem where clean energy systems thrive.
🇸🇱 is a perfect example.
It has created a predictable market where initiatives like @SEforALLorg's #SOGREA can scale, giving developers the confidence to invest.

Mini-grids do more than light homes. They support healthier communities, stronger businesses & growth.
Through results-based financing, the #UEF is scaling clean energy where it's needed most.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, climate action is already happening, community by community

Construction of 7 mini-solar power stations in #Benin is underway!
Here’s a sneak peek into the @ARESSofficiel project backed by the #UEF.
It's a critical step in scaling #UniversalEnergyAccess, delivering clean, reliable & productive energy to rural communities.

1/2) The future is African.
Fastest-growing population, the youngest workforce and vast renewable energy potential.
But 600M people still live without power limiting jobs, education, healthcare and opportunity.

1/2 Delivering a baby by torchlight. Storing vaccines in a failing fridge. Running emergencies on generators that could cut out at any time.
This was a reality for many health facilities in🇸🇱 .
But that has been changing, thanks to #SierraLeoneHealthcareElectrificationProject

2/2 - Now, 43 facilities have reliable solar power battery storage. From Kambia to Masanga Hospital, it means:
· 24/7 emergency care
· Safer maternal health
· Vaccines that stay cold
· Reliable care without noisy generators🎉⚡️
Kudos @UKinSierraLeone, @mohs_sl

On this Labour Day, we salute the men and women building #minigrids in communities the national grid hasn't reached - sometimes without reliable light themselves.
You are the heart of the #energytransition, powering the sector from the ground up, and we thank you!

2/2 The results speak for themselves:
· 14,000 connections.
· 4,000 businesses powered.
· 5,000 tonnes of CO₂avoided annually.
Our power. Our planet. ⚡🌍

Traditional funding: money flows, but impact is often assumed.
Too often, we don’t actually know if it worked.
Results-Based Financing (RBF) changes the game: No verified results = no payment.
See how this looks in practice 🎥 👇

Why is this reshaping the sector?
✅ Less risks for funders
✅ More flexibility for providers
✅✅ Real outcomes: Focus changes from "activities" to "lives changed."
RBF is the new standard for #EnergyAccess

Just kidding. 🤡
Truth is, solving the energy gap isn't about one "hero" - it’s about the right financing infrastructure.
At #UEF, we provide catalytic funding that empowers many developers to do the work on the ground.
Real impact isn't a joke. Join the mission.🌍
