SCALING ENERGY ACCESS IN AFRICAMike RosenbergFounder and MD, Aleutia [email protected]
CONTEXT:CRUSHING AMBITION
Challenges are immense:
■ 621m without access to grid
electricity, 93m Nigeria*
■ Sub-Saharan Africa excluding
South Africa: 36 GW
■ $10/kWh
*June 6th, 2015
STATUS QUO■ > $1 kWh
■ Unscalable CAPEX & OPEX
PICO SOLAR:YESTERDAY’S SOLUTIONS TO TODAY’S PROBLEMS
■ $100 kWh Kerosene*
■ $0.41/day high for $4/day family
*June 6th, 2015
FUTURE IDEALSGrid Scale Solar hindered by:
■ Vested interests
■ Irrational Grids
INDUSTRIAL APPROACH: 1MW GENSET REPLACEMENT
COMMODITY COMPONENTS:
EMBRACE LITHIUM■ Avoid Nightime Genset
■ $300 per kWh
■ 2000 cycles = $0.15 per evening kW delivered
MICRO GRIDS■ Private Sector
■ Unregulated
