🏍️ In partnership with RMI and Rural Electrification Agency of Nigeria and on the ground help from One Acre Fund, we’re driving change further, faster through electric motorcycles. Using MAX technology to power these EV bikes, small businesses and organizations can thrive and help more people in need. Watch as One Acre Fund Field Officer, Karibu Adamu, explains how they have reduced fuel, maintenance, and energy costs↓ #LetsChangeEnergy KIBITI Benson Annette Mutuku Habiba Ahut Daggash, Ph.D. David Otu Jessica Anderen

🇳🇬 Nigeria might be one of the most exciting markets for Decentralized #RenewableEnergy (DRE). That's why The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP)—and many of our Alliance partners—are on the ground changing energy for good. GEAPP Interim Head of Africa, Wale Aboyade, PhD, breaks down all the reasons in 20 minutes on Frontier Africa Reports→ https://lnkd.in/dTd6dvKr #LetsChangeEnergy

🤔 But wait—how do battery energy storage systems (BESS) work? Before you start scratching your head, we broke it down to the basics so that you can better understand—and join us—on our mission of advocating for BESS as a major solution for #renewableenergy success in emerging markets across the planet. Here's the spark notes version: Batteries use the science of physics to store the energy of the sun—long after it has set. #SayYEStoBESS #LetsChangeEnergy Rajiv J.

🇨🇩🎉 The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) recently celebrated Energy Week! Our favorite part? When our Country Lead for DRC, Lyza Shodu O., announced the launch of the first technical assistance project, aimed at providing legal advisory services to the AUTORITE DE REGULATION DU SECTEUR DE L'ELECTRICITE / RDC (ARE) to support the deployment of IFC - International Finance Corporation's "Scaling Mini-grid" program, expected to impact over one million Congolese. With high level representation, including the representative of the Ministry of Hydraulic Resources and Electricity, Professor Beya, and Director General of ARE, Dr.Ngalula Sandrine Mubenga, PE, Engineer of the Year IEEE-Toledo, COMESA Secretariat representatives and NARUC representatives—the importance of collaboration was well-known among stakeholders. #LetsChangeEnergy Wale Aboyade, PhD Annette Mutuku Naomi Wagura

🗺️ This is how we use data to change energy for good. 🇲🇬 This week, we shared Madagascar's new Integrated Energy Access Planning (IEP) tool with Alliance partners, UEF (Universal Energy Facility) and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), during the Madagascar Energy Day. The IEP tool has a lot of benefits: 💰Employs a cost-effective way to assess demand 🌐 Uses geospatial technology 📊 Shows multiple variables IEP tools unlock market opportunities for government, private sector and people alike, which means it's a sustainable solution that works for all stakeholders. #LetsChangeEnergy with data Dennis Waweru Nderitu Wale Aboyade, PhD Annette Mutuku Damilare Olayiwola (MBA, PMP, CMRP R.Engr) Anita Otubu Nishant Narayan The OPEC Fund for International Development
