Handbook on sizing solar-hybrid mini-grid systems in East Africa

An overview of Talek Solar Power plant in Talek, Narok County. GIZ and other partners constructed the power plant which will connect residents of Talek town to power for domestic and industrial use.

Low electrification rates in Kenya are a major challenge for development despite untapped solar potentials. Off-grid systems (i.e. mini grids) are often the only feasible solution for the supply of electricity in rural areas. In order to develop financial viable projects, appropriate system sizing is crucial. Therefore, a clear approach for demand forecasting and a guideline for system sizing of solar-hybrid mini-grids have been developed, based on the Mini-grid-builder-tool by GIZ.
