Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.

Example: EnDev Senegal
Hybrid mini-grids wuld be cost-efficient without subsidies if the poorest segment of the population could pay 4,700 to 5,000 FCFA (7-8 EUR).
If the payment capacity is lower than that of the ‘optimal’ villages, the supply should be limited to two or three, instead of four service levels which better correspond to the group needs of the middle income segment. Fulfilling energy needs of the richest segment results in a considerable reduction of the profitability index.
If no investors are motivated to participate in the projects after these last considerations, then management lead by communal associations, which focus more on the benefits electrification, will reduce the amount of profit required and consequently the subsidies needed.
EnDev provides a subsidy of 70% of the initial investment costs. The operator and the rural commune contribute 20% to the initial investment, whereby the operator usually contributes 15% by providing services and logistics. The remaining 5% is covered by the commune mainly through treasury bills and the provision of manpower for the construction sites. The end-users pay 10% consisting of a connection fee and the reimbursment of pre-financed indoor installations.
