Case study Energy, State and State Fragility initiative

This case study explores EnerGrow's loan-based model and the business support services it offers, which help members of low-income communities purchase income-generating productive use of energy (PUE) appliances.

Scaling up productive use of energy (PUE) appliances in low-income communities only recently connected to electricity is not easy, but it is vital to ensuring the financial viability of grid extension and mini-grid systems. This case study looks at the experience of EnerGrow and the loan-based model and business support services it provides to enable members of low-income communities to buy income-generating PUE appliances.
