A 253 kW solar mini-grid installed by Mercy Corps in Ethiopia’s Sheder Refugee Camp has improved energy access for more than 1,000 households. The system replaced costly and limited diesel generators, enabling residents like Muse, a Somali refugee living in the camp for over a decade, to enjoy reliable electricity for activities such as watching TV and charging mobile phones. The project underscores ongoing challenges in securing stable energy for long‑term displaced communities while highlighting the benefits of sustainable power solutions.
