Example I: Energising Development (EnDev) Peru

Objective: Sustainable Access to Modern EnergyProducts and Services

Financing: EnDev

Partner: Ministry of Energy and Mines, regionalgovernments, private companies

Achievements:

414 pico PV systems for households were installed

30 SHS for households and one SHS for a socialinstitution were installed

Training courses for local technicians on installation

and maintenance of SHS was developed

Example III: Kenyan-German cooperation on PV-HybridMini-grids (Deutsche Klimatechnologieinitiative)

Objective: Provide access to rural households inNorthern Kenya

Financing: BMZ

Partners: Kenyan Rural Electrification Authority(REA), Ministry of Energy (MoE), Energy RegulatoryCommission (ERC)

Envisaged activities (starting Q4 2013):

Greenfield PV hybrid mini-grid pilot projects

Support the enhancement of rural electrification policy

Mechanisms for off-grid rural electrification (tendering,private sector participation)

Strengthening the capacities of the local private sector

for off-grid electrification

Challenges in Mini-Grids (II)

PV hybridization of existing diesel grids

Diesel generators in publicly owned mini-grids usually highly oversized in relationto demand incorporating PV is often limited

Solar Mini-Grids

Transition from a demand-driven diesel mini-grids to supply-driven PV Mini-Grids active demand shifting (e.g. load limiters) vs. indirect demand shifting (e.g.corresponding tariffs)

High transaction costs

Different policy framework conditions in every country

Lack of market information and collected data in rural load locations

Tendering of small capacities in public procurement
