Description: Remote rural populations do not often have the luxury of viable multisource electricity generation systems. Considering fossil fuels for remote populated areas is not often a viable option due to the fuel transportation costs and the population’s socioeconomic status. Extending the grid is often economically prohibitive. This paper proposes possible ways in which Mali could increase the rate of population with access to electricity by 2050 using Low Emission Analysis Platform (LEAP) and geographical information tools. The current energy situation is assessed, and multiple demand and supply scenarios are created to find the most viable option in environmental and economic dimensions.

Thus, each mini-grid establishment will begin with creation of an “ownership and management unit” constituted by the community members and other stakeholders including the private sector actors. These units will ensure the energy service centres are run professionally and profitably. Each community will set up a kitty that ensures maintenance, technology integrity and sustainability.
