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

By C.Breyer - Reyer Lemoine Institut


1. The specific criteria for minigrids have to checked at the end locally.

2. How was calculated the rural population???

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

3. Why some countries which do not have a clearly huge electrification rate were excluded?? (E.g. Bangladesh)

  • Combination of market, political environment and the weighting and scoring

4. Did you make a sensitive analysis for each variable??

  • Yes, it was done.

5. Cost of finance – ability of finance (Setting a company up, infrastructure) How was it taken into account??

  • Not considered because it was so extensive the investigation

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




Potential of mini-grids and critical factors

by Dr. Teodoro Sanchez of Practical Action UK

1. How a difference between critical or important factor is done?

  • First, a discussion of several specials from different areas is done in order to identify critical/important factors and finally a practical field investigation is done for verifying which of them were really critical or just important.




An Objectives Analysis for Improved Holistic Design of a Rural Electrification System

By Maizaklah Ayu Abdullah


1. How was the leader of the community 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 are people taught to use it?

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




Designing a Sustainable Model for Financial Viability of Decentralized Bio-fuel Based Power Projects

By Debajit Palit


  • The water for producing biofuel is enough for biofuel based mini-grids
  • Biofuel is produced by big plants and needs to be decentralized.
