Development of a HIGH Capacity FLEXible Energy Storage System for Mini-Grid Application in Sub-Sahara Africa (HIGHFLEX)

Partners: Aceon Battery Solar Technology

Country: Nigeria

Technology: Smart green grids, including mini and main grid technologies

Stage: Mid

Stage: Round 10

HIGHFLEX technology is a portable and scalable system that facilitates the quick development of mini-grids in sub-Saharan Africa, energy storage for off-peak use and the delivery of reliable and affordable power systems.

HIGHFLEX will facilitate a steady electricity supply to rural and unserved areas. The technology will be deployed in Nigeria, where the majority of its rural population (48% of Nigeria’s total population) cannot access affordable and low carbon electricity.
The project addresses access to electricity, which is a barrier to advancements in the healthcare system, as well as developing new technologies for agriculture, commerce, education, and entrepreneurship.
