MARKET SIZE

• Mini-grids are the best way to “democratize”energy in rural areas. About 500,000 mini grids are expected in South Asia and Africa

• Solar-Biomass hybrid mini grids can provide 24/7 to solve the energy access. Grassroots Energy can provide reliable bioenergy based energy solutions

• GHG emission potential is high in mini-grids (specifically in bioenergy)

• Interesting business models in the value chain (generation to distribution are emerging)

• Innovations in each area of the value chain and financing are expected
