The Energy Centre Model - An Approach to Village Scale Energy Supply
Presenters: Charles Muchunku, (Camco Advisory Services (K) Ltd, Kenya)
Overview
| A model for off-grid, village scale power supply has been developed through the Solar Transitions research project, led by the University of Oslo. Through a participatory approach the project developed an energy centre model which became operational on March 20th, 2012. The model creates affordable and accessible basic lighting and electricity services for off-grid households and businesses through a financially sustainable design. It is designed to be operated by local residents on commercial principles. Today, it provides lighting and other services to about 150 households. The paper describes and rationalizes the model and shares experiences from the first 1½ years of operation. The financial performance is documented and suggestions are provided on how the model could be improved[1].
