Summary: Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is an important economic analysis used in the selection of alternatives that impact both pending and future costs. It compares initial investment options and identifies the least cost alternatives for a twenty year period. Basic applications of LCC are addressed within the individual chapters herein.

Summary: This report uses case studies to shed light on what kind of off-grid solar delivery models contribute to—and, likewise, hinder—sustainability. The purpose of the report is to help decision-makers in the public and private sector design sound off-grid electrification projects for rural schools and health centers by helping them evaluate the most effective and appropriate delivery model for their specific country context. The central question this report seeks to answer is: What kind of delivery models contribute to the sustainability of solar PV systems in off-grid, public health, and education facilities? The report addresses this question by evaluating several past, on- going, and emerging efforts to deliver off-grid solar PV power to schools and health facilities in emerging economies using an analytic Framework for Sustainability.

Summary: The Government of Uganda (GoU), with support from the World Bank, is preparing the Uganda Energy Access Scale-up Project (EASP). The proposed EASP will support GoU’s efforts to scale-up access to electricity for households, refugee and host communities, industrial parks, commercial enterprises and public institutions, so as to spur socio-economic transformation, in line with Uganda’s Vision 2040 and other Government policies. EASP activities will build on earlier Government initiatives, in the energy sector, to support the expansion and strengthening of the electricity distribution network, scale-up service connections within the network, and increase access to off-grid electricity in refugee settlements and their host communities, and to clean cooking services outside the electricity distribution network.

Summary: Electricity is an increasingly essential commodity in remote healthcare facilities. Recent improvements in the distribution of vaccines and other cold chain-dependant supplies, as well as the global push to deliver antiretroviral drugs and services to HIV-positive patients worldwide, have introduced new demands for electricity in sites with little or no access to reliable electrical power. Refrigerators and electronic diagnostic tools are part of the standard of care in many rural clinics throughout the world. Powering Health is a resource for health professionals seeking to electrify health facilities that currently lack power or to ensure uninterrupted power for facilities that are connected to an unreliable power grid. Information is provided to help the user weigh the pros and cons of various energy systems with a focus on appropriate solutions and special considerations for off-grid rural hospitals and health centers.

[6] Solar PV in Africa: Costs and Markets; published by the International Renewable Energy Agency, Masdar City, P.O. Box 236, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. https://www.irena.org

Summary: Africa is endowed with significant renewable resources of all forms. Hydropower has traditionally been the largest renewable power generation source, contributing 97 terawatt-hours (TWh) of hydropower generation in 2013 (15% of total generation). However, with recent cost reductions for solar PV, concentrating solar power (CSP) and wind power, this could change rapidly. Solar PV module prices have fallen rapidly since the end of 2009, to between USD 0.52 and USD 0.72/watt (W) in 2015. At the same time, balance of system costs also have declined. As a result, the global weighted average cost of utility-scale solar PV fell by 62% between 2009 and 2015 and could decline by 57% from 2015 levels by 2025.
