Description: The RGoZ has decided on the development of renewable energy to increase reliability of electricity supply and energy security. The RGoZ, in December 2018, issued a decision to adopt a PPP approach for the development of the 30 MW solar project in Unguja and Pemba, distributed across 4 sites. This would need an assessment of the system with regards to the grid integration of renewables and how these resources can be utilized in conditions where there is supply interruption from the mainland by incorporating battery storage and different grid modernization techniques. In this context, this activity will entail a techno-economic analysis of the Zanzibar electricity grid.
