Currently, there is no minigrid cluster project in Ethiopia, but they have plans (Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia National Electrification Program.).
The implementation of minigrid projects is currently underway with support from the World Bank and collaboration with industrial partners. Within this initiative, 36 diesel-based minigrids have been established by the Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU), with approximately 35% of them boasting a capacity of 100 kW.
As a rule, minigrid tariff is much higher than the central grid tariff. Typically, central grid retail tariff in Africa ranges from 0.04 to 0.23 EUR/kWh and Ethiopia has the cheapest grid tariff among Africa countries, while minigrid retail tariff in Africa is ranging from 0.1 to 1.2 EUR/kWh according to the technology (Implementing Partners.).
The Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People’s (SNNP) region faces the greatest challenge, with 62.1% of its population lacking electricity. Ethiopia aims to achieve universal electricity access by 2030, and microgrid (MG) development is expected to play a pivotal role in meeting this goal.
In our paper, to make the minigrid cluster successful implemented in SNNP and to boost the development of minigrid in Ethiopia, a flexible framework for minigrid tariff is defined in Table 20 to bridge the affordability gap.
Minigrid distribution network cost is also considered with $135000 capital cost and $6750 O&M cost. Fig. 6 presents the optimal sizing results of the designed minigrid for different load demand levels and Fig. 7 presents the corresponding costs for components and system.
