One of its aims is to give everyone in Senegal permanent access to the utility grid by 2025. The main focus is on expansion in rural areas, such as with the ASER300 project, which is bringing electricity to 300 villages using mini-grids. Best of all, the technology for the energy supply comes inside a standard shipping container.
Senegal wants to give its population permanent access to electricity by 2025. However, half of the country’s approximately 17 million residents live in rural areas, sometimes a long way from the national utility grid. The government is therefore looking to decentralized and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
And there is plenty of that in Senegal. Mini-grids for ASER300: Electricity supply from a container A mini-grid (also known as an off-grid system or stand-alone grid) is a decentralized electricity supply. It provides a reliable supply of solar power for remote regions without access to the utility grid.
PV mini-grids provide electricity to 300 villages in Senegal - Sunny. SMA Corporate Blog by Erik Klügling (guest post), 17. Feb. 2023, 4 Comments Senegal wants to give its population permanent access to electricity by 2025.
The government’s ASER300 project is bringing electricity to 300 villages all around the country with mini-grids, which include PV modules, inverters, batteries, and cooling systems. Drought, arid and saline soil, lack of rainfall, forest dieback – Senegal is feeling the full impact of climate change.
The PV modules from the Off-Grid Europe version are attached to the roof of the container, where they provide the system with shade and are better protected from dust and dirt. The inverter converts the direct current from the PV system, from where it is fed directly into the grid.
