Risk Management for Mini-grid Deployment in Rural Areas

A significant challenge for mini-grid deployment is a communication and language gap between mini-grid developers and investors about mini-grid risks and their management. While investors usually think in financial risk/return dimensions and are often unaware of the specific challenges in the field of mini-grid electrification, project developers and mini-grid operators have immense expertise in overcoming these specific challenges in terms of preventing threats but often do not use risk management tools as usually expected by bankers and investors.
