1. August 2023EnDev Digitalisation for scale – Consulting services in the area of energy access through digitalization
In this project, RLI scientists are working to identify digital solutions that support greater market development of energy access products and services. This concerns, for example, the provision of reliable and efficient lighting, heating, cooking facilities, mechanical energy or transport and telecommunications services. The digital solutions should be able to be applied on a large scale as part of the Energising Development (EnDev) programme.
The EnDev Program
EnDev is an energy access programme currently funded by four countries: the Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Switzerland. With it, they promote sustainable access to modern energy services worldwide. The programme targets countries with low economic power and high poverty.
Market-based approach to energy poverty
EnDev has helped more than 28 million people gain sustainable access to modern energy. To ensure universal access, profitable business models are needed. The program supports national governments in creating an economic environment that enables the supply and demand of sustainable energy. Energy poverty will be addressed with a market-based approach. RLI will support this with its expertise in off-grid and mini-grid energy solutions, the design and implementation of stakeholder workshops and the establishment of a Practioner Group on "Digitalization for Scale".
Project period: 27.03.2023 - 01.03.2024

Project period: 27.03.2023 - 01.03.2024
The RLI assumes the following tasks:
- Define and structure digital solutions in general
- Assess status quo in EnDev projects (through 5 short interviews with people from EnDev projects in Kenya, Benin, Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Bangladesh).
- Analysis of details on 5 key topics (through workshops & long interviews): Development, implementation, operation & maintenance, consumer/market, capacity development/knowledge transfer & sharing.
