The Malagasy government sees off-grid solutions as an opportunity to be seized to improve access to elec-tricity. Preliminary analysis suggests that off-grid so-lar solutions would be the most cost effective for nearly 60% 10of Malagasy households by 2030. World Bank projections, based on preliminary geospatial
Contributors to environmental pollution in Madagascar include deforestation, transport emissions, unsustainable agriculture, and land use. The use of wood and charcoal for cooking is a major source of indoor air pollution and contributes to the high indoor pollution (PM10 and PM2.5) in Madagascar, while emissions from traffic, processing food, automobile manufacturing, the

Closing the Access Gap in Madagascar: USD 2.3 Billion Required for Off-Grid Electricity and Improved Cooking Solutions . Figure CS 1. FIGURE CS1: CLOSING THE ACCESS GAP IN MADAGASCAR: US$2.4 BILLION TOTAL REQUIRED FOR OFF-GRID ELECTRICITY AND IMPROVED COOKING SOLUTIONS $662M $217M $92M $148M $1.2B ICS
With the Madagascar Emergence Initiative, the government wants to increase the country''s electrification rate to 50% by 2030 and double electricity production, notably via the installation of solar and hydraulic power plants.
In Madagascar in 2024, only 36% of the population has access to an electricity grid, while less than 12% of the population uses clean cooking technologies or improved cookstoves. The lack of reliable and affordable access to energy impacts crucial services such as the cold chain for agriculture, health and education, and remains a major barrier
From 2020 to 2022, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of least-cost geospatial electrification options for both on-grid and off-grid solutions. Our focus on hydroelectricity, a crucial resource for Madagascar, has led us to regularly perform feasibility studies for micro power plants in targeted rural areas.
New grid connections are expected to reach an additional 600,000 households by 2030 (increasing grid access by 2.4 percent). If Madagascar follows a business as usual (BAU) scenario—allowing markets to continue developing based on current levels of support from the private sector, government agencies and development partners—grid coverage
To date, the UEF mini-grid programme in Madagascar is the fastest growing and the largest beneficiary of UEF grants. The plans use geospatial data and tools to identify the efficient integration of on- and off-grid solutions for energy supply (i.e., grid extension, mini-grids, and standalone solutions like solar home systems), while also
Could you tell us more about Okra Solar''s mesh-grid solution and how it can complement mini-grids electrification? New grid connections are expected to reach an additional 600,000 households by 2030 (increasing grid
The funds will help WeLight make progress with the development and construction of solar mini-grids in 120 rural villages in Madagascar. The project will give more than 45 000 households and businesses first access to sustainable, affordable and productive energy.
Common characteristics include, for example, the imperative for off-grid solutions, abundant solar energy potential, limited economic resources, lack of experience with energy technologies, and deficient telecommunications infrastructure. Local electricity market design for a rural off-grid area in Madagascar. This paper reports a hands-on
Madagascar''s energy balance shows that about 80% of its overall energy consumption is based on biomass (mainly firewood 68%, charcoal 10% and other biomass 2%), 17% on petrol (transport), 2% on electricity (hydropower and diesel power plants) and 1% on coal. Lack of a national distribution grid: Madagascar does not possess a countrywide
WeLight''s new mini-grids will provide residents in off-grid rural villages with first-time access clean, affordable and productive energy and light. Alongside homes and businesses, the project will benefit schools, health centres and public spaces, strengthening the local economy and improving health, security and education.
This paper, part of the Green Mini-Grid Market Development Programme (GMG MDP) document series, assesses the green mini-grid market in Madagascar. Green-mini grids include mini-grids powered by renewable energy resources – solar radiation, wind, hydropower or biomass – either exclusively, or in combination with diesel generation.
Through its New Energy Policy (NPE) elaborated in 2015, the Government of Madagascar has set an ambitious goal of increasing the electricity access rate to 70% by 2030, with 85% of the energy mix to be supplied by renewable energy. The NPE specifically recognizes the role that off-grid solar solutions (both
Access to grid electricity in Madagascar is currently estimated to be less than half the sub-Saharan African average, with considerable disparities between urban and rural areas. preliminary analyses suggest that off-grid solar solutions would be the least-cost electrification option for nearly 60 percent of Malagasy households through 2030
in Madagascar''s electricity sector commit all resources required to achieve universal access, grid connections would increase to 14 percent of households, repre-senting 600,000 new grid connections between 2020 and 2030. Madagascar has about 160 mini-grids, servicing approximately 24,000 households located
Power Africa is proud to support the off-grid electricity sector in Madagascar by catalyzing investment into clean energy projects and accelerating the pace of new clean energy connections.
Power Africa, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), awarded grants totaling $1.2 million to mini-grid developers lighting up more than 5,200 households and businesses in rural Madagascar. The winners are: Autarsys Madagascar, Henri Fraise Fils & Cie, and Hydro Ingénierie Etudes et Réalisations (HIER).

Power Africa launched the "Power Africa Madagascar Mini-Grid Development Grant" to bridge the financing gap and support implementation of new mini-grid projects as well as expansion of existing mini-grids to new customers.
Carbon Trust analysis. Transmission grid coverage in Madagascar is very limited. The network is comprised mainly of 35kV, 63kV and very few 138kV transmission lines. It is responsible for nearly all the current population’s electricity access, which stands at 15% access nationally (53% urban, 6.5% rural).
In November 2020, Power Africa, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), awarded $1.2 million in grants to mini-grid developers in Madagascar to develop and deliver sustainable energy solutions for rural communities, individuals, and businesses.
Several government agencies play a role in the energy sector in Madagascar. The Ministry of Water, Energy and Hydrocarbons (Ministère de l’Eau, de l’Energie et des Hydrocarbures - MEEH) develops and implements policies for the provision of adequate and reliable power supply in Madagascar.
A second biomass power plant is operated by CASIELEC, one of the biggest and most established private operators in rural Madagascar. The plant uses rice husk as the primary fuel with a capacity of 4kW (World Bank, Evaluation of rural electrification concessions in sub- Saharan Africa, 2015).
