The Problem!
“Sub-Saharan Africa is starved for electricity” “Electricity consumption and economic development are closely linked; growth does not happen without a step change in the power sector” “Sub-Saharan Africa has 13% of the worlds population, but 48% of the share of the worlds population without access to electricity” “Electricity consumption rates are far below other emerging markets”

Renewable Energy Institute
Why is the REI needed?
- Barriers inhibiting the development of renewable
energy in the region:
- Few installers specialising in renewable energy
- No training available for installers
- Examples of poor installations
- Lack of consumer confidence in renewable
energy
Renewable Energy Institute
What is the REI?
- The objective of the REI project is to
- develop structures for training, registration
and quality control of installers in the Somali region.
Renewable Energy Institute
REI Training Courses
- REI
