About: Over 770 million people worldwide are still without modern energy access, most of whom are in rural and remote locations. Unfortunately, the mini-grid sector currently faces persistent challenges around slow demand growth, low revenue, and misalignment of end-user expectations. Community Energy Toolkit (COMET) https://www.cometapp.net/ is an interactive, simulation-based software for exploring and assessing electricity demand and customer-side risk, the major impediments to scaling up investment and achieving universal energy access. COMET is deployed through community-based workshops to generate high-resolution data on end-user demand, appliance usage, and revenue under multiple design scenarios. The solution is implemented in 13 communities across 5 countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Somaliland, India), with more than 10,000 end-users. The Webinar will bring on-going experience from Nepal. It will explore the interplay of technical solutions and community empowerment to deliver modern energy solutions.
