CSI: Community Solutions InitiativeSpinoff from HTC for “Reliable Electricity”

2008-2010 Humanitarian Technology Challenge 3-yr pilot program

CSI departed from main HTC Reliable Electricity initiative to develop community sized highly scalable solutions

In 2010 HTC lost UN funding so for continuity CSI spun off under PES, Power and Energy Society

First CSI solution launched for rural Haiti; became strongly supported by PES, NPSS, IEEE Foundation

SunBlazer Power Station

7/7/2012

** 1.5 KW serves 40-80 homes** 6 units deployed in Haiti June 2011** 9 more shipped for final assembly in Port au Prince, deploy August 2012

CSI Goal: Sustainable DevelopmentHTC goal was to see solutions deployed as

“sustainable market-based” initiativesSolutions had to be invented by 3 HTC

initiativesCSI hooked up with NGO in Haiti, Sirona Cares

(SF based founding company) to develop market, in-country for-profit entity, local entrepreneurs

CSI-Sirona-Haiti is now the major initiative in IEEE

Through 2011 support totaled ~$400K for 15 1.5kW mobile solar power stations7/7/2012

CSI StatusHaiti Program

Nov. 2010: Started construction for first 6 stationsJune 2011: 6 stations deployed in 6 communities as

businesses under Sirona Cares; operated by local entrepreneurs who are totally responsible for success: Developing customers, collecting payments, making lease

payment to Sirona, keeping records, coordinating with Sirona central maintenance

June 2012: After 1 year all 6 stations totally successful One failure of a controller in May 2012, a few random

failures of battery packs, LED lights Customers , owners paying on time 2000 customer waiting list c.f. 240 deployed

CSI Status 2Pilot 2 for 9 additional stations to Haiti

June 2012: Major parts assembled in Long Island including 360 battery packs, lighting kits, shipped from NY

Assembly of solar panels, chassis wiring, final installation sub-chargers left to Haitians

Sirona-Haiti leased facility in Port au Prince is beginning of full manufacture in Haiti, major CSI goal

IEEE has fulfilled Haiti seed funding program; will assist with training and deployment in July-August

Sirona-Haiti MilestonesNov 2011:

1 of 3 NGOs in attendance at government national strategy meetings

Affirmative contacts with presidential reps, UN, USAID, World Bank

Dec 2011USAID requests to purchase the 9 new units for

$250K to deploy in St. Marc’s under Sirona-HaitiAll new units will be equipped with 83 home kits

per generator (2X)

CSI Report to NPSS AdCom - R. Larsen 10

Sirona-Haiti Milestones 2April 2012:

USAID funds start to flow; $250K will build 10 new units after current 9 new units deployed

USAID requested proposal for grant for full-scale factory ($500K); submitted

May 2012:Sirona-Haiti incorporation completeUSAID indicates will order 100-300 units after factory grantUNEP proposes end of grid application for 20 units ‘13-’14

June-July 2012Sirona takes delivery 9 new units in NY & ships to HaitiDigicel requests proposal to light up 75 of 150 new schools

Product ChangesMore users per station

Usage in field shows that single station can handle ~80 units per station (customer recharge rates much lower than max allowable

Cuts cost, doubles income per station by 2X at low costCost reductions all components major S-H focus

Bids from multiple suppliers for complete battery packs & lighting kits requiring no additional work in Haiti

Costs ~ 50% of first unitsMajor remaining cost driver is trailer

New design underway to separate chassis from trailer once on location; re-use trailers for hauling from factory

Original idea not executed due to urgency of delivering 1st units.

CSI Report to NPSS AdCom - R. Larsen 16

SummaryThe CSI – Sirona-Haiti partnership has been an

unqualified success to date.Sirona now must raise millions in new funding on its own

to grow to reach a million people in its first 5 years.Huge credit to the volunteer team who designed and

built the equipment, Sirona-Haiti for assuming the daunting responsibility and risk of a new startup, and IEEE for its outstanding corporate leadership, funding and organizational support.

The IEEE NPSS lead investment has already multiplied by 2X or more and continued growth looks promising

Hopefully IEEE, corporate and individual investors will be motivated to help break new ground in Africa and Asia.
