Breaking News! 📢
Thrilled to unveil our Hero Video which marks the launch of our "FinancingEnergyProsperity” Campaign.
With clean, uninterrupted power to underserved communities, we're helping to unlock potential and change lives. More on our website👇 https://t.co/MvsEp0HnGK.

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.

2/2 This #AfricaDay, we recognise the momentum already underway: #minigrids, #resultsbasedfinancing unlocking private investment and growing focus on #STEM for productive use of energy.

At #UEF, we're proud to be part of it.

The future is already being built!

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

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.

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

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

Is #SDG7 still achievable?
That was the big question at #EAIF2026.
The shift is clear: it’s not just about access but how people use energy to improve their lives. Progress is slow, but with creative financing&stronger partnerships the foundations are right
Swipe for the recap👇

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!

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

@pamafrica_ Exactly. It’s about consistent progress!

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

1/2 For 600 million people across Africa, every day is #EarthDay, because the energy choices made today will define the planet they inherit tomorrow.
At #UEF, we show up for that every day -rewarding verified clean energy connections in the communities that need them most.

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

2/2 The results speak for themselves:

· 14,000 connections.
· 4,000 businesses powered.
· 5,000 tonnes of CO₂avoided annually.

Our power. Our planet. ⚡🌍

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

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

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 🎥 👇

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

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.🌍
#AprilFools

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

The calendar turns, but our focus stays the same.
Closing the #energyaccess gap isn’t a moment - it’s what happens every day, in the work we do, the communities we serve.
When energy is designed with the users in mind, the impact goes further.
The transition itself moves quicker.

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

We fund solar-powered irrigation pumps and flour mills that make water and food security possible.

It all starts with reliable, clean, affordable power. ☀️🌍

#EnergyAccess #SolarPower #SDG7 #CleanEnergy

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

On this #WorldWaterDay, we recognize a simple truth: you can’t talk about water without talking about energy. 💧⚡️

To solve for one while ignoring the other is to leave the most vulnerable behind.

The real-world result? 🌍
12 health facilities electrified via the PHC Innovation Fund and Masontsika.
Now, a midwife can work after dark. A clinic no longer turns patients away.
This is a clean energy transition built for everyone. ⚡️

22 of 24 jobs created to run rural energy systems in #Madagascar are held by women.

0% of this happened by accident. It was designed. 🛠️

A thread on what inclusive #EnergyAccess actually looks like in practice: 🧵

[Universal Energy Facility (UEF) @UEF_com]

(2/3)
Across 28 mini-grids, we have connected 3,000+ women to electricity - 30% of all customers. ⚡️

How? We make it a requirement:

✅Mandatory Gender & Youth Action Plans
✅ Minimum 30% female representation in all roles
