On 11^th April 2018, the IED group inaugurated a 1MW biomass gasification plant in the province of Sra Emm in Cambodia in the presence of the Ministry of Energy represented by his Excellency Mr. Tun Lean, Minister, Regulator and Authorities Advisor, the Development French Agency and the EEP-Mekong program.

IED Invest is an investor and oprocess with closed-loop water use and ash recovery and employs around thirty people locally.

More than 1.5 GWh of energy has already been produced by the plant to date.

Supported by the United Kingdom and the European Union, Kenya's "mini green network" project, managed by the French Development Agency (AFD), supports the private development of renewable energy mini-grids through state-of-the-art subsidies. investment and technical assistance to both the beneficiaries and the mini-grid sector. The French Development Agency (AFD) has selected Innovation Energie Développement (IED) in association with Practical Action Consulting and I-DEV, to act as a management entity for the operations of the program. After a call for projects launched in May 2017, in the first quarter of 2018, IED signed 3 grant agreements with private operators POWERHIVE, POWERGEN and REV.SOL. These first three agreements aim to connect 12990 connections (households, productive and social uses). For more information on the project, click here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fVv7bLEf_w)
