Overview

What Is a Mini-Grid?

A mini-grid is a localized electricity network that can generate and distribute power to connected users, often using renewable energy and energy storage.

Sanbase Energy Limited supports mini-grid projects from early assessment through system planning, implementation and deployment, with the final system configuration guided by the requirements of the project.

Where Mini-Grids Can Be Applied

  • Rural communities
  • Underserved areas
  • Institutions
  • Commercial clusters
  • Industrial applications
  • Development projects
  • Remote facilities
  • Community infrastructure

Project Considerations

System Design Depends on the Project

Mini-grid design is shaped by a number of interacting factors, reviewed as part of the project discussion.

  • Energy demand
  • Location
  • Number and type of users
  • Available renewable resources
  • Existing infrastructure
  • Storage requirements
  • Distribution requirements
  • Project objectives
  • Operational considerations
