Green-ID Solution for Off-grid Areas
Ms. Ngụy Thị Khanh, Executive Director

Sustainable and affordable energy solutions for the
“Last Mile”.

The Rural Electrification Program REP Target: Almost 100% rural households have access to power by 2020. 2% remains to be reached - these are off –grid communities in remote areas still without power (approximately 1,009,900 households).
Challenges remain to achieving the REP target by grid expansion to these remote areas, due to:
• Macro financial barriers: National budget limitations & high investment costs vs relatively energy low demand.
• Geographical barriers: Remoteness of target areas reduces the cost – effectiveness of grid installation and maintenance.
• Lack of local financing mechanisms for end-users to deploy off-grid renewable solutions
Off-grid households just have very basic demand for lighting, phone charging, and a few small appliances which can be met by decentralized renewable energy solutions
15
GreenID Off- Grid solutions: Option 1. Mini grid system
Mini Off-Grid Solar Energy System for electricity
And drinking water in Erot, Cư Pui Commune,
Krongbong District, Dak Lak Province
Solar PV system: 6,24Kwp
Drinking water system: 360l/h
Water price: 7000 VND/20l
Electricity price: 2000VND/kwh
16
Advantages of RE Mini – Grid system:
• Provide decentralized efficient electricity, connecting remote off grid communities
• Bridge the gap between small solar PV systems and large grids, offering the customer nearly the same service as grid connection.
• Can expand as energy demand increases
• Enable integrated solutions such as the installation of water supply systems.

Our approach: The LEP Process
Key Elements of LEP
• Community demand driven
• Increased green awareness and behavior change in the community
• Planning and implementing by the people with technical support
• Community ownership fostered by an inclusive process
• Locally appropriate solutions designed for the needs of each community
• Cost-sharing for solutions application
• Local technician building for sustainability and new job opportunities
• LEP enable the application of 15 sustainable energy solutions by thousands households in 6 provinces, bringing benefits for about 40,000 people
19
Challenges & lessons learnt
• Current lack of initial financial mechanisms for such local solutions. Appropriate solutions such as loan packages should be put in place.
• Follow - up operation & maintenance over the lifetime of the systems. The technical expertise and economic feasibility of local maintenance support should be ensured.
• Current low level of understanding and information in local communities regarding the potential of RE solutions. Access to information regarding renewable alternatives needs to be made available.
20
Conclusion & recommendations
• Decentralized RE systems are a practical and appropriate way of meeting the basic needs of off-grid communities
• They are a cost effective and sustainable means of reaching the REP target by 2020
• RE systems are fully implementable in off – grid communities, but require a financial mechanism to become feasible.
• Govt should give priority to off-grid renewable energy solutions by:
• i) providing partial financial support for end-users or capable actors to deploy RE solutions for off-grid communities;
• ii) putting in place appropriate policy to mobilize the participation of multi-stakeholders including government agencies, NGOs, business and the community in providing innovative delivery of RE solutions for off-grid communities;
• iii) ensuring an appropriate capacity building program to increase awareness and build local expertise for off-grid community on RE alternative solutions
