Off-grid systems in the Amazon region and other remote locations represent less than 1% of domestic electricity consumption, however, more than 80% of that electricity is generated from fossil fuels. This session will focus on the role of energy storage as an enabler of decarbonizing off-grid energy generation, both in the Amazon region and other remote locations.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
