Brief description of project:
ElectriFI committed EUR 100,000 in development financing to co-finance the implementation of Asrama Microgrid Pilot Project. The purpose of the pilot is to help validate the business and financial assumptions of Benoo (including acceptance of pricing level and support by local authorities), especially related to the micro-grid revenue stream.
The Asrama Microgrid Pilot Project was developed by the energy access integrated operator Benoo Energies. Asrama is a village of 5000 residents in Togo, connected to the national road, with no electricity. The closest grid connection is 27 km away. The financed pilot will have a capacity of 24 kW and will focus on servicing around 80 businesses. The target capacity is 110 kW, aiming at reaching 370 households and 85 businesses.
