New Sun Road was selected to deliver the projects by Guatemala''s National Secretariat of Science and Technology (Senacyt) acting on a U.S. Trade and Development Agency technical assistance grant.
The project has also succeeded in sourcing two impact investors–one Guatemala-based and one international–and is in the process of completing the legal requirements for the investments to proceed.
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has approved a US$250 million loan to finance the Rural Electrification Access Program in Guatemala, aimed at increasing electricity
Schneider Electric and United Solar Initiative announced plans to build microgrids at two rural birthing clinics in underserved, largely indigenous communities in Guatemala.
Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management, has partnered with United Solar Initiative to install microgrids at maternal healthcare clinics in remote regions of Guatemala.
The IDB program will strengthen and expand medium- and low-voltage electricity distribution networks in rural areas and will fund solar microgrid system and individual solar battery
As climate change intensifies and pushes vulnerable people towards migration, we need to deploy renewables-based microgrids quickly, to provide the power and connectivity that these communities
For this project, CLDP will provide technical assistance on developing legal and regulatory frameworks to incentivize the use of microgrids to the governments of both Guatemala and Honduras.
The microgrids provide a consistent and dependable energy source at night without interference, vital for delivering quality medical care 24/7.
Development Ventures is piloting the establishment of low-cost community-owned solar micro-grids in off-grid & low-income agricultural communities in Guatemala.
