Sustainability analysis of mini-grids in SubSaharan Africa
This working package focuses on research question 1. Initial quantitative analysis of the database created in WP2 using the DEA framework will identify trends in the 4 case study countries. This will allow us to identify the best performing, worst performing projects, and the factors affecting their performance.
The cross-country comparison will facilitate cross-learning potentials for performance improvements. The quantitative analysis will be complemented with interviews to key stakeholders to identify the key challenges.
Our analysis will also consider the potential for alternative productive uses of energy to improve the performance and sustainability.
Outputs
Outputs will include:
a) Country case studies on mini-grid sustainability (D7, 30th month),
b) Cross country comparison of mini-grid sustainability (D8, 33 month).
DMU leads this working package.
