OFF-GRID: INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS AND FINANCE
Summary
Hybrid off-grid systems and
decentralized energy supply
systems are complex systems
requiring detailed planning
and engineering. Aside from
the technical challenges
financing such projects
become even more crucial.
Within this session we
discuss certain approaches to
solve the financing challenge
of hybrid projects.

OFF-GRID: PRODUCTIVE USE
Summary
Rural electrification is one of
the Sustainable Development
Goals. The implementation is
challenging due to e.g. low
specific electricity
consumption. The
enhancement of productive
users can improve both the
financial viability of
electrification projects and
the local living conditions.
