1. AI and Energy: Research, Knowledge Sharing, and Innovation
Nafasi leverages artificial intelligence as a catalyst for smarter, fairer, and more resilient energy systems. This pillar focuses on:
Energy Systems Research: Applying AI to model demand forecasting, grid stability, climate risk, and generation optimization in African contexts where data gaps and system fragility persist.
Policy and Market Intelligence: Using data analytics to track energy investment trends, procurement outcomes, PPA structures, and regulatory shifts across the SADC region.
Knowledge Democratization: Translating complex technical and financial energy data into accessible insights for policymakers, communities, students, and local entrepreneurs.
Innovation Ecosystems: Supporting African researchers, startups, and students developing AI-driven solutions for energy efficiency, mini-grids, storage, and grid management.
By aligning AI innovation with African realities, Nafasi ensures technology serves development — not exclusion.
