The purpose of the Subcommittee on Mini-grids within the Off-Grid Energy Working Group (OGEWG) is to drive discussions and initiatives pertaining to the pivotal area of minigrids. Its primary objective is to assess and address the various challenges and opportunities associated with the deployment and operation of minigrid systems and DREs in off-grid energy contexts. This includes examining regulatory frameworks, site identification/allocations, financing mechanisms, technological innovations, operational models, tariff models and community engagement strategies relevant to minigrids.
