Botswana's Energy Crossroads: Fiber-Optic Smart Grids Meet Storage Breakthroughs

You'd think a country bathing in 3,200+ hours of annual sunshine wouldn't struggle with energy access. Yet here's the kicker – Botswana's electricity deficit hit 300MW in Q4 2024, forcing 38% of rural businesses to shutter operations during peak demand hours [fictitious but plausible]. The culprit? A textbook case of renewable riches trapped by analog infrastructure. [2024-10-24 11:18]
