- GEAPP to help Malawi achieve universal access by 2030.
- The programme will increase electricity access and improve energy security and reliability.
Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) has launched the Scaling Renewables in Malawi to help Malawi achieve universal access by 2030. The programme will support Malawi’s goals to increase electricity access from 18% to 100% and improve energy security and reliability.
President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera said Malawi is proud to join the GEAPP and reaffirm its commitment to ensuring everyone has equitable access to reliable, affordable energy. He said, “Together, our work across the clean energy ecosystem: supporting utility-scale clean energy storage, building decentralised renewable energy to increase agricultural productivity, and developing integrated energy planning, will help transform our country’s economic development.”
Joseph Nganga, Vice President for GEAPP, said integrated energy planning is crucial to achieving universal energy access. Under the GEAPP programme, the government of Malawi, led by the Ministry of Energy, is also launching the Malawi Integrated Energy Planning Tool in collaboration with Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL).
