In this episode we are thrilled to host Grace Perkins, Chief Growth Officer of the African Mini-Grid Developers Association (AMDA), and Samuel Bunnya, Project Coordinator of the African Forum for Utility Regulators (AFUR). Together with the podcast's host Nico Peterschmidt, they unpack how the natural monopoly of a mini-grid can be steered by regulation that supports positive and collaborative effects while minimizing exploitation of power on all sides of this mini-monopoly.
The fluid roles and responsibilities of various sector stakeholders emerge as a pivotal theme, with regulators facing the challenge of encapsulating these in concrete regulations. An intriguing point of debate is the potential for regulators to take on more active roles, even influencing subsidy decisions for specific projects.

A core revelation of our discussion is the disconnect between current electrification plans and mini-grid regulations. Synchronizing these elements could pave the way for nations striving to fast-track mini-grid electrification.

Reflecting on the sector's trajectory, it's clear that mini-grids, with their consistent provision of reliable electricity, have built a foundation of trust. This trust facilitates the development of detailed regulations, attracting a diverse array of industry participants and setting the stage for accelerated industry growth.

Join us as we navigate the complexities and potentials of the mini-grid regulatory landscape, moderating stakeholders in the mini-grid mini-monopoly.
