Energy Grids

Our Senior Advisors and Technical Experts have completed the following assignments:

Isolated Mini-Grid & Electricity Distribution and Hydropower Dev't, Angola
The Partnership International team is providing technical assistance for the development of an isolated grid and assessing tariff levels, subsidy payments, and indirect subsidies (on fuel) that could be made to the electric utilities, with particular attention to the implications of this tariff structure for an independent systems such as those in Cuchi and Leua. Our team is assessing the applicability in the isolated systems to improve collections of electricity bills through collection campaigns and the installation of pre-paid meters. Upon completion of this assessment, our senior advisors will propose a new tariff strategy for isolated systems, with Cuchi and Leua serving as case studies for a broader country-wide tariff plan that would enhance revenues for electric utilities to ensure long-term sustainability. As part of the analysis, our advisors will conduct a hydropower prefeasibility and master plan for the rehabilitation and distribution of the hydro resource within the isolated grid system in Cuchi and Leua.
