Health stations offer the only opportunity for around 12,000 people in Ethiopia’s Midda Region to meet their basic medical needs. The remote locations of these health stations make it extremely difficult to guarantee the indispensable, uninterrupted cooling (between 2 and 8° C) of life-saving vaccines. Hitherto, kerosene using generators provided the essential power. Yet, fuel supply distribution is difficult, the often old engines are unreliable and fuel itself bears high permanent costs. Thanks to the project’s installed solar PV facilities directly at the health stations, autonomous power supply can be achieved. The high-tech installations guarantee a reliable and persistent power supply as well as significant cost reduction.
