Description: At the request of the Zambian Ministry of Energy and the Rural Electrification Authority (REA), the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) has developed a geospatial model that determines the least-cost electrification solution for each household in Zambia. The model shows that development of mini-grids and installation of solar home systems (SHS) can play a significant role in electrification and replace grid extension for a substantial portion of the rural population.
