Haven't seen low cost off-grid cold storage units.

- need more funding from local financial instituions
- SIDA would like to design innovative asset financing solutions / loan guarantees / technical assistance to tackle this issue

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of time is going into addressing tech gaps, but also need to address affordability, business models, showing viability so companies can scale/bring down costs, etc.

Energy as a service, why hasn't cold chain been pushed more into this area? Could tackle vaccines and longer term ag storage.

Reconcile mini-grid users tariffs (PUE vs Households)?
Key technology gap related to AC appliances/mini grids
Business models, tapping into more fragile areas with high gender impact

Acumen is looking at addressing affordability and accessibility -- asset financing, distribution efficiencies, can help, but more is needed.

Tendency to just support value chains that have strong short term returns (cash crops), not sure how to reconcile

Looking at cooling and which value chains in which countries have the most potential to increase income for farmers, research in Kenya and Uganda. Acumen hopes to share this externally- Sarah will open this up for others to share.

Transitioning from diesel to solar is low hanging fruit. Bangladesh - IDCOL took a decision to transition from diesel to solar for pumps.
Energy as a service - cooling is the most promising, working on health applications as well.

IKEA Foundation: we hope to be user-centred, so anything that is driven by that. Still key technologies might be: solar irrigation, cold storage and/or diesel gen set replacement (w/ a solar version).

Cold chain, irrigation, but a number of other interesting appliances that could be more affordable and accessible if there were an asset financing mechanism to make this feasible. Anything that is solar powered, or can be solar powered rises to the top.
