Comprehensive Country Ranking for Renewable Energy Based Mini-Grids Providing Rural Off-Grid Electrification

Presentation by C.Breyer - Reyer Lemoine Institut


1. The specific criteria for minigrids have to checked at the end locally.</span>

2. How was calculated the rural population???

  • Taking into account the number of rural electrification per country (%) and number of poverty (%)

6. All the collected data is standardized and may not reflect exactly the situation in each country

1. How the leader of the community was approached??

  • The Leaders have to know, how in other communities mini-grids are working by visiting other sites. Community has to be a very active player in the system, they should suggest energy solutions, among others
  • If there is no compromise of the community the project fails very quickly

2. How is the social economy background of the communities? How is people taught to use it..

  • They don’t handle money very often
  • Basic education
