Africa offers distinct opportunities and challenges to deploy electrical minigrids to provide reliable power to millions of people, many of whom currently have no access to any sources of electricity.

Minigrids in Africa is a four-course program that presents the roles and contexts for minigrids in African countries. It explores the technological, economic, environmental, and sustainability issues that need to be considered to successfully deploy minigrids.

Upon completion of this course program, technical professionals will understand:
• The context and roles for minigrids in Africa
• Appropriate technologies for minigrids in Africa
• Operation, maintenance, and sustainability of minigrids in Africa
• Technologies and operational considerations for connecting to national grids
• Regulatory and policy considerations
• Design and deployment considerations
