Mini-Grids Partnership

The Mini-Grids Partnership is a consortium of over 320 like-minded mini-grid stakeholders interested in enhancing and complementing each other’s work through collaboration and coordination. To this end, the Partnership seeks to be an ‘umbrella’ group that can bridge discrete but related stakeholders and initiatives, from both the public and private sector. The Mini-Grids Partnership was founded in 2014 under the auspices of Sustainable Energy for All. The Partnership is governed by a Steering Committee with representation from funders/financiers, government, industry and other enablers. The Committee includes African Development Bank, Africa Minigrid Developers Association, Alliance for Rural Electrification, CLUB-ER, FCDO, GIZ, GET.invest, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Power for All, Rockefeller Foundation, SNV, SEforALL, and the World Bank. The Steering Committee is responsible for providing strategic guidance and oversight to the Partnership’s operations. The Partnership’s day-to-day operations is led by its Secretariat at SEforALL and the Alliance for Rural Electrification. The Mini-Grids Partnership is a voluntary partnership of leading mini-grid stakeholders – from both the public and private sector – that seeks to accelerate the development and deployment of clean energy mini-grids by exchanging information and ideas and shaping policy and markets to unlock the potential of widespread mini-grid electrification.
