With the rapid decline in the , there is a strong and accelerating trend towards the use of solar electricity in mini grids. According to a 2022 study by the 's ESMAP, approximately 51 percent of installed mini grids are solar or solar hybrid (generally solar + diesel), followed by those powered only by hydro (35%),(10%), and other generation technologies such as wind (5%).
