Least-cost rural electrification master plan

Grid extension or solar mini-grid: the right option for each village.

Project 02 pictogram

The challenge

Hundreds of villages to electrify, a limited budget: which to connect to the grid, which to equip with solar, and in what order?

What you will be able to do

Compare the cost of energy of each option, draw the optimal network and produce the phased master plan map.
