Although mini-grids are often boxed as a "pre-electrification" intervention, there is increasing evidence showing that mini-grids can achieve grid parity. Further, in countries that allow mini-grids to feed in electricity to the central grid, mini-grids have actually made the central grid more reliable!

Hydro mini-grids especially meet these scenarios, providing 24-hour reliable electricity, typically at lower LCOE and costs per kW than most other types of mini-grids, and leading to lower tariffs for rural consumers. 

Despite their obvious advantages, in most developing contexts, mini-grids continue to be framed as less important than the central grid, often housed in a separate and less influential ministry. Such a fragmented approach leads to inefficient use of resources, and hampers the scale-up of more reliable and environmentally viable solutions for energy access.  Read More

The Hydro Empowerment Network seeks to spotlight energy planning practitioners that are advancing integrated energy planning for rural electrification. 

The webinar will include:
  • The basic criteria for a robust integrated energy planning process
  • Examples of country-wide and sub-region programs in Africa and Asia that are advancing integrated energy planning and their hindsight
  • Voices of a diverse set of energy planning practitioners -- including a private utility, national government, international development partner, and scientific research institute
  • Tools and processes for integrated energy mapping, modelling, and planning
  • Challenges and potential solutions that require further support and strategy.
 
Presentations will be followed by a Q/A session open to all participants. 

We look forward to you joining us!  Register here (no cost).
 
This webinar is made possible by Wisions and Energypedia UG.
