Project Description
IFC is providing advisory services to Kivu Green Energy (KGE), a mini-grid company operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to improve the Client's strategy and approach to expansion. IFC's contribution includes: (i) bringing insights and experiences from other advisory engagements with mini-grid operators in other parts of the Sub-Saharan Africa region; (ii) a set of tools and methodologies to oversee the feasibility studies for the different sites that KGE is interested in, in terms of expansion; (iii) deep knowledge of emerging markets across Sub-Saharan Africa; and (iv) a network of private sector companies and investors in the off-grid sector space with whom it is possible to consider potential partnerships for KGE and identify opportunities for innovation and help scale-up viable energy access solutions for KGE in the DRC.
