Nigeria

SUMMARY:

Nigeria is the 2nd largest off-grid market in the world (8%) with over 90 million without access to electricity. Liquidstar has conducted initial surveys and nano pilots with rental batteries to demonstrate demand for the service and to test the Liquidstar sign up, rental, payment, and management platform. Research with project partners has identified multiple locations for large scale up pilots in the coming future. Liquidstar will also be collaborating with Vista Advisory Partners and McKinsey on a World Bank commissioned study of Nigeria’s off-grid electrification over the next 10 years.

Kenya

SUMMARY:

Liquidstar was selected for the UNDP Cultiv@te program to explore the use of its energy distribution platform to provide off-grid solutions to agriculture innovations to be tested in Kenya. This program will give Liquidstar immediate access to government bodies that can help seed and accelerate its use cases while providing the opportunity to work across the global UNDP network for various deployment options.

PROJECT PARTNERS:

  • UNDP Cultiv@te - Cultiv@te – an innovation initiative of UNDP supported by the Singapore Government – will curate multi-stakeholder coalitions to tackle key challenges faced by developing countries across the globe and explore opportunities in urban agriculture, climate resilience and livestock farming.
