Winch Energy procures $16 million to set up mini-grids in Uganda and Sierra Leone

Winch Energy, an off-grid energy developer and technology integrator, has adopted a dedicated mechanism for financing its mini-green grid projects in Africa. Through this platform, $16 million has already been mobilised towards setting up 49 mini-grids in Uganda and Sierra Leone. The mini-grids will be built with Winch Energy’s own proprietary technology, the Remote Power Unit, and will be operational within the next 12 months. They will be located in the Lamwo district of Uganda and in the Tonkolili, Koinadugu and Bombali districts of Sierra Leone.
