[Applause] First about climate change I want to show you this spiral by NASA. So you can see that bas this is basically the global average temperatures over the years. Pre-industrial era how the earth was warming up like going towards minus1° centigrade the temperatures were going low.But as we move on the years we go to the industrial era and you will see what is happening with the uh overall average temperature of the of the world. Remember that according to the Paris agreement by the end of the century w ...

Problem & Solution - Approximately 1 billion people globally lack access to electricity, primarily in Africa and South/Southeast Asia [1] - Mesh grids, a decentralized network with panels and batteries on individual houses, offer a solution by interconnecting houses and redistributing power [6][7] - Mesh grids can be 50% cheaper than mini-grids due to shorter power distances and smaller cables [8] Innovation & Deployment - Nigeria is a progressive and innovative leader in large-scale solutions to energy poverty [2] - Mesh grids are fast to deploy, with local labor trained for installation and maintenance [9] - Prototypes were tested in communities, demonstrating the technology's potential to fill the energy access gap [10] Policy & Finance - Nigeria's regulators are actively learning about and supporting new energy solutions like mesh grids [13] - Financeers like Infrorit are backing mesh grid innovations, alongside partnerships to provide appropriate appliances [15] - DARES, a nearly $1 billion electrification program, aims to provide electricity to almost 20 million Nigerians, including mesh grids [16] Impact & Future - Currently, 40,000 people have gained electricity access through mesh grids [17] - 500,000 people are projected to gain access to electricity from mesh grids in the next few years [18] - The industry believes that 700 million people can gain electricity access with innovation and a willingness to adopt new approaches [19]
