Light Up and Power Africa – The Neutrino Powercube Solution

Over 640 million Africans do not have access to power, making Africa the continent with the lowest electricity access rate in the world. In sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa), the per capita energy consumption is 180 kWh, compared to 13,000 kWh in the United States and 6,500 kWh in  Europe. Energy access is critical for a variety of reasons, including the improvement of health and educational outcomes, the reduction of company costs, the realization of economic potential, and the generation of new employment opportunities. As a result of the lack of access to reliable energy sources, hundreds of thousands of people die every year from accidents involving wood-burning stoves, medical facilities, and emergency services are unable to function properly, educational outcomes are dimini...

Africa to receive significant funding for the development of decentralized energy

The majority of Africans lack access to modern conveniences like electricity. Thankfully, the "The We  Give Light" foundation plans to donate 1 billion euros to the development of decentralized energy in Africa in order to provide the continent with renewable, decentralized, climate-friendly energy. These distributed energy systems are scheduled for development between 2023 and 2026. The money will go toward installing renewable energy systems that provide power to over hundreds of thousands of people and prevent the release of tons of carbon dioxide annually. The focus will be on renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and neutrinovoltaics. An advisory board will weigh the options and make recommendations. Due to the continent's massive population, distributed power generation and dist...
