SUNNY: Powering Sustainable Energy Access in Africa
SUNNY unites 17 partners across Africa and Europe to create adaptable, green energy solutions that drive sustainable growth. From solar home systems to clean cooking and smart irrigation, SUNNY is transforming energy access for 1,300 people in Uganda and Rwanda through innovation, local value chains, and circular economy principles.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
SUNNY: An international collaboration for green energy access in Africa
Gathering 17 partners from 3 African, 5 European countries and 2 associated countries, SUNNY is a 48-months project that aims to provide highly replicable solutions for green energy transition and energy access in Africa. To reach that goal, five Renewable Energy Technologies, reaching TRL 7-8 will be improved, adapted to the local context and demonstrated in two sites in Uganda and Rwanda, reaching around 1300 refugees and persons in the local host populations.
PROJECT’S MAIN OBJECTIVES
Tailored renewable energy solutions for climate resilience and community empowerment
The main objective of the SUNNY project is to demonstrate the effective implementation of renewable energy technologies (RETs) tailored to the needs of local contexts, specifically aiming to improve climate mitigation and adaptation potential. By focusing on the provision of sustainable technologies that consider technical, environmental, social, and economic aspects, the project seeks to enhance the livelihoods of remote and under-served communities, particularly displaced populations in Africa. This will be achieved through a collaborative approach involving stakeholders and decision-makers from various professional backgrounds throughout the entire value chain, from design to operation.
