We’re pleased to share with you the new Smart Villages “pocket guide” to rural energy and development!
This pocket guide is intended as a quick reference to off-grid technologies, policies, and impacts – including stories of successful village energy projects from across the global south.
For remote off-grid villages, local solutions are often both more realistic and cheaper than national grid extension.
