Business Model Design for Rural Off-the-Grid Electrification and Digitalization Concept

Abstract

Microgrids have been technically viable for rural electrification in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, despite growing interest in microgrid projects among stakeholders in developing markets context, the lack of well-defined business models remains a challenge. In this paper, a novel off-grid concept is analyzed using a business model canvas approach. The concept has been designed to supply renewable-based electricity, connectivity, and digital services as an integrated package to remote areas where such infrastructures do not exist. The paper also propose a framework for developing sustainable rural microgrids in SSA.
