About the project:
EDFI ElectriFI has provided EUR 100,000 to fund the improvement and expansion of the constructed pilot in Mali, including the development of metering & payment solution as well as helping improve the business model.
EDFI ElectriFI supports the development and the growth of FlexGrid Mali’s rural electrification endeavor in Mali, through the innovative “Flex-Grid” technology. Flex-Grid’s modularity – based on an innovative “swarm intelligence” concept – would make the system suitable for a demand-driven approach and could reduce the risks associated with an uncertain demand.
