Fig. 3: Techno-economic indicators for sustainable electricity access in refugee settlements under three electricity demand scenarios.
From: Planning sustainable electricity solutions for refugee settlements in sub-Saharan Africa
Outliers capture the large variation in population per settlement but also the unavailability of population data per administrative unit in some locations hosting a large number of refugees. a, Estimated PV mini-grid capacity per settlement (solar PV). The PV sizes were optimized per settlement on the basis of the site conditions and requirements. b, Estimated battery capacity per settlement. The battery sizes were optimized per settlement on the basis of the site conditions and requirements. c, Estimated daily electricity demand per settlement. Electricity demand for residential, productive and public uses per settlement. d, Estimated annual avoided GHG emissions in tCO2e (by using fully renewable mini-grids) per settlement. e, Up-front total costs (US$ million). Up-front costs for PV mini-grid per settlement. k, thousand; M, million.
