Potencial deployment of microgrids for rural
electrification
The objective of the first workshops carried out in the three target regions was to analyze
the difficulties and needs for the spread of electrification systems in rural areas and to
identify strategies and actions to fulfil these needs and remove these obstacles. The
workshops were organised in Thies, Fatick and Kaolack in December 2006.
The target groups were:
• Representatives of governmental organizations involved in rural electrification and
renewable energies
• Representatives of citizens.
• Renewable energy technicians.
In order to achieve the proposed objectives, the event consisted of the following tasks:
• General information about the MICROGRIDS project issued in order to make the
people aware of the background.
• A presentation on Renewable Energy situation in Senegal done covering subjects such
as previous projects, main barriers, institutional policies and figures (cost, amortization,
benefits…)
• The dynamics of the working session. Three groups were formed according to the
three target groups. Target groups listed all main parameters and difficulties related to
electrification and regarding their particular area of activities. Taking all this information
as a basis, possible solutions were proposed and evaluated.
