Humphrey Wireko, Managing Director at CrossBoundary Access, caught up with INENSUS GmbH for the first episode of their new podcast series, “The Mini-Grid Business”, hosted by CEO Nico Peterschmidt.

Humphrey joined Beatrice Muthoni Ngugi of InfraCo Africa to discuss “The Financing Jungle – Getting Access to Finance for Infrastructure without Having a Profitable Business”.

The episode breaks down the various financing models that have the potential to electrify over 200 million lives in Africa. Humphrey and Beatrice pull back the curtain on the innovative ways in which mini-grids can metamorphose into bankable investments and the role of infrastructure finance in this crucial process. They also deep dive into the risks involved, especially demand risk, and how implementing long-term contracts can curtail them.
