Arlington, VA – Today, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency announced it has funded a feasibility study to connect more than 100,000 households in rural Cameroon to solar-powered minigrids that will utilize innovative battery storage technology. The grantee, Renewable Energy Innovators Cameroon (REIc), 

More than 9.4 million people in Cameroon (35% of the population) currently lack reliable access to electricity. This lack of access hinders opportunities for socioeconomic development and can force households and businesses to rely upon burdensome biomass fuels or expensive and unreliable generators to meet their energy needs.
