Harnessing AI for Renewable Energy Access in Africa

AI offers great potential to increase the adoption of renewable energy. Within two months, Omdena's AI community built an interactive map showing the top Nigerian regions for solar power installments. The solutions will provide helpful insights for the government and policy makers to take make decisions on where to allocate resources in the most effective way. Many communities are not connected to the national electricity grid altogether. Most of them work with environmentally devastating fossil fuel, which is expensive, unsustainable, noisy, and health-threatening.
