The 16kWp Hybrid Solar Mini Grid Electrification project in Dodan-Karji Community was successfully implemented by ACOB Lighting Technology Limited, a renowned renewable energy company. The project aimed to provide a reliable and sustainable electricity supply to the previously underserved community.

The primary objective of the project was to install a hybrid solar mini-grid system with a capacity of 16 kilowatts peak (kWp). This innovative system incorporated solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, battery storage, and a backup generator to ensure a continuous and uninterrupted power supply, even during periods of low solar radiation or high electricity demand.

Capacity building and community engagement were integral aspects of the project. ACOB Lighting Technology Limited conducted comprehensive training programs to educate community members on the operation and maintenance of the mini-grid system. This empowered the local residents to actively participate in the management and sustainability of the electrification initiative.

The electrification of Dodan-Karji Community brought about a profound impact on the lives of its residents. Access to electricity revolutionized education by enabling the use of computers, digital resources, and improved lighting in schools. It also enhanced healthcare services by supporting medical equipment and refrigeration of vital vaccines. Additionally, the availability of electricity stimulated economic activities, promoting entrepreneurship, and creating employment opportunities.

The successful implementation of this project showcases the transformative potential of renewable energy solutions in addressing energy poverty and fostering sustainable development. The electrification of Dodan-Karji Community not only improved the overall standard of living for its residents but also served as an exemplary model for other underserved communities, inspiring the adoption of clean, affordable, and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
