Over 600 million people lack access to the electricity grid. This form of energy poverty disproportionately afflicts those living in developing countries, primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. Closer to home, tens of thousands of households, mostly on tribal lands, are without grid electricity. Achieving universal electrification through grid extension is optimistically decades away and, in many rural areas, may never occur. This talk describes approaches to providing off-grid electricity solutions in the form of renewable energy-powered mini-grids, microgrids, energy kiosks, and solar home systems. Dr. Louie will draw upon his experiences in Zambia and the Navajo Nation to explain the technology and development approaches, barriers, and opportunities for rural electrification. Dr. Louie will also introduce IEEE Smart Village and give examples of how global IEEE members are working toward ending energy poverty. Please register for the event using the link provided below.
