About the project
The Mwinda Fund, launched in 2021 under ANSER with support from UCM, includes a dedicated Catalytic and Technical Assistance Window designed to accelerate the emergence of strong off-grid operators in the Democratic Republic of Congo. With an initial budget of $65 million, this window supports access to energy in rural and remote areas by helping companies introduce innovative technologies, structure early-stage mini-grid projects, and expand into new underserved regions. Through catalytic grants, project preparation support, co-investment mechanisms, and tailored technical assistance, the Fund lowers entry barriers and enables renewable energy developers to reach bankability and scale sustainable electrification.

About the project
The RBF pilot aims to improve gender outcomes by (1) incentivizing distributors of productive use appliances to target women, and (2) encouraging women to use productive use appliances to improve their livelihoods. This pilot will serve as a proof-of-concept to validate the value of positive gender outcomes that are produced by the adoption and use of productive use appliances and will provide crucial learnings for the sector. The pilot also aims to expand the addressable market for some of these appliance distributors by tapping into an often overlooked segment of the population for these appliances. This should enable appliance distributors to further accelerate their growth, both through new customer acquisition, and by unlocking new pools of de-risking capital that prioritize gender outcomes, which can further mobilize the commercial capital needed to scale their solutions.

The fund intends to focus on the smaller to mid- sized energy access companies that are addressing the needs of the bottom of the pyramid consumers and expects to make about 90-100 loans. While the fund will seek to be as inclusive as possible, its primary focus is expected to be on loans of less than $1M, within a range of $100K to $2.5M.

About the project
Implemented in partnership with the World Bank, the Mini Grid Minimum Subsidy Tender aims to kick-start the Nigerian market and catalyze mini grid deployment at scale. Mini grid developers will compete on the basis of quality (technical proposal) and price (minimum subsidy requirement) to build, own, and operate solar hybrid mini grids. The REA will provide the minimum subsidies required to the successful proposers. The REA has prioritized 250 sites to be tendered, spread across four states: Niger, Sokoto, Ogun, and Cross River states.

About the project
The Stand-alone Solar for Productive Use (SSPU) component of the Universal Energy Facility (UEF) is designed to scale up electricity access to households, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to power their income generating activities.
The SSPU programme offers results-based grant payments to eligible solar companies for verified end-user connections based on pre-determined standards. The programme will only support solar companies that provide end-user connections using the energy-as-a-service or lease-to-own business models.
The objectives of the SSPU programme includes:
Achieve over 480,000 end-user connections by scaling up the adoption of stand-alone solar systems and helping to alleviate the challenge of making upfront outright payment for MSMEs through sustainable business models.
De-risk investments in solar companies by supporting the expansion of their business operations through grant payments that can serve as a blended finance mechanism to crowd-in additional private capital.
Support Nigeria’s Energy Transition by displacing fuel generators and scaling up access to clean electricity for small businesses and households

About the project
The DART program aims to accelerate the growth of the renewable energy sector in Nigeria and beyond by combining demand pooling and aggregated purchasing of solar equipment, access to affordable finance, and coordinated logistics processes to unlock economies of scale for solar companies that will achieve cost savings on the overall project capex for developers.Pioneered by 3 industry collaborators, GEAPP, Odyssey & AllOn, The DART program has proven in the last executed round to provide key benefits for developers including but not limited to;
Cost reduction from bulk purchase
Best delivery and warranty payment terms
Faster delivery due to streamlined logistics
Lower capex and higher IRR for safer investment
Good partnership with global OEMs and stockist
Financing availability for immediate procurement

About the project
Le Programme PHARES (Programme Haïtien d’Accès des communautés Rurales à l’Energie Solaire) est lancé par le Gouvernement Haïtien avec l’appui initial des programmes de financement HA-L1140-Amélioration de l’Access à l’électricité en Haïti financé par la Banque Interaméricaine de Développement (BID), et TF0A5191-Projet Energie Renouvelable pour Tous financé par le fonds SREP à travers la Banque Mondiale (BM).
PHARES est développé par le Gouvernement Haïtien en étroite collaboration avec la BID et la BM, et mis en œuvre par le Ministère des Travaux Publics, Transports et Communications (MTPTC), à travers sa Cellule Energie qui est l’Autorité compétente à mener le Programme, l’Autorité Nationale de Régulation du Secteur de l’Energie (ANARSE) et l’Unité Technique d’Exécution du Ministère de l’Economie et des Finances (UTE-MEF), comme agence d’exécution1.
L’objectif principal de PHARES est d’augmenter l’accès des communautés rurales et péri-urbaines à l’énergie solaire et en particulier de fournir l’accès à l’électricité abordable, accessible, durable et de haute qualité, par des services énergétiques durables, à travers de mini-réseaux utilisant des énergies renouvelables, du stockage et des unités de production conventionnelles (si nécessaire), et développés et exploités par des opérateurs du secteur privé. Dans ce mix, au moins 50 % de l’énergie produite et consommée doit être générée à partir des énergies renouvelables. Le programme prévoit l’attribution de subventions pour assurer la durabilité des services fournis et un accès à ces services à des coûts abordables pour les utilisateurs.

The PHARES Program (Programme Haïtien d’Accès des communautés Rurales à l’Energie Solaire) is launched by the Government of Haiti with the initial support of the funding programs HA-L1140-Improving Electricity Access in Haiti funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and TF0A5191- Renewable Energy for All Project funded by SREP funds through the World Bank (WB).
PHARES is developed by the Government of Haiti in close collaboration with the IDB and the WB, and implemented by the Ministère des Travaux Publics, Transports et Communications (MTPTC), through its Energy Cell which is the competent Authority to carry out the Program, the Autorité Nationale de Régulation du Secteur de l’Energie (ANARSE) and the Unité Technique d’Exécution of the Ministère de l’Economie et des Finances (UTE-MEF), as executing agency.
The main objective of PHARES is to increase the access of rural and peri-urban communities to solar energy and in particular to provide access to affordable, accessible sustainable and high quality electricity, through sustainable energy services, through mini-grids using renewable energy, storage and conventional generation units (if necessary), developed and operated by private sector operators. In this mix, at least 50% of the energy produced and consumed must be generated from renewable energy sources. The Program provides subsidies to ensure the sustainability of the services provided and access to these services at affordable cost for the users.
