Kenya - Potential New Mini-Grid Sites
type: Dataset
description: This dataset represents potential mini-grid projects; these projects were identified through a least-cost geospatial analysis undertaken over the period 2017-2018. Each project (defined by the unique “mg_Name”) includes generator locations, circuits (electricity lines), potential customers, commercial points of interest, and mini-grid boundary (which defines the broad physical extent of the mini-grid). Therefore, the dataset includes a combination of several feature types. The shapefiles are accompanied by the “Potential New Mini-Grid Projects Cost” (included in the csv file). This csv file includes residential and non-residential customers to be connected; distribution line length; number of streetlights required; daily energy and peak demand; the size of the PV array, inverter, batter, and diesel generator; and estimated project cost (in US$) for each unique new mini-grid project (again, defined by “mg_name”).
