What are the barriers to off-grid energy development in East Africa - and how can they be overcome?

A recent paper by @EEGResearch explores the topic: https://t.co/HnEWD142PI #SDG7

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

The cost of key clean energy technologies, such as solar PV & batteries, has dropped rapidly in past years.

But a surge in prices of the minerals & metals needed to produce them risks reversing progress.
