https://unsdg.un.org/latest/stories/decoding-africa%E2%80%99s-energy
Over 600 Million people in Sub-Saharan Africa live without Access to electricity!
More than Half of the Region’s Population!
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Determining the optimal placement of microgrids to maximize energy delivery while minimizing installation costs and ensuring electricity access to underserved communities is
a Complex Combinatorial Challenge.
