A general view of a hybrid minigrids station in Doma Town which is mainly powered by solar energy in Doma, Nassarawa State, Nigeria on October 16, 2023. Mini-grids -- small power stations usually supplying rural communities -- are not new. But the drop in solar technology costs over a decade has prompted a growth in clean energy minigrids with rural Africa poised to benefit the most.
