Dive into the fascinating realm of mini-grids and Rural Industrialization in this podcast episode with Brad Mattson of Husk Power and John Kidenda from PowerGen.

Gain insights into how they master the art of risk diversification in this dynamic mini-grid sector.

Uncover strategies for electrifying larger villages with mini-grids swiftly and delve into the dialogue on what it takes to electrify smaller, less lucrative villages via mini-grids. Rural Industrialization emerges as one potent approach to powering up these smaller villages. The duo debates its profitability boost and broaches the crucial question: which stakeholder should spearhead rural industrialization in this multifaceted mini-grid electrification scenario?

Brad illustrates the transformative potential of Rural Industrialization on the rural economy and shows how Husk Power integrates both, electrification and industrialization into one business, while John articulates why PowerGen remains exclusively in the electricity domain, seeking collaboration for Rural Industrialization in their mini-grids.
