BUSINESS MODELS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION
• Government ownership and Operator is the community itself
Local model (community
based)
• Private entrepreneurs are encouraged by grant mechanisms or long term concessions
Private model
• Diversified electrical distribution companies Utility Model
• Shared ownership between public company & private investors
Mixed model
![Page 7: RURAL MICRO-GRIDS: EDA APPROACH FOR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS ...€¦ · RURAL MICRO-GRIDS: EDA APPROACH FOR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELS -TARIFFS, INVOICING AND MANAGEMENT- Antoine GRAILLOT](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042307/5ed3358e20ca8951594596b6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THE FINANCIAL CHALLENGE
> Uncertain revenues
> O&M concerns
> Local acceptance
> Complex issue: willingness to pay vs national tariff
> Economies of scale
Economic objectives
Cover capital costs (?)
Cover O&M costs
Generate profit

• Traditionally in conventional grid connection: users pay for consumed
kWh
• In autonomous electrification with RE: Key aspect is the constrain on
available energy
• In RE electricity, user should pay for availability not for the consumed
energy
• Tariff based on the Energy Daily Allowance (fee for service ≠
prepayment)
• Clearer and easier financial planning for operator and for client
• It reduces transaction costs because of flat fees
INNOVATIVE CONCEPT: TTA’s Energy Daily Allowance (EDA)
![Page 12: RURAL MICRO-GRIDS: EDA APPROACH FOR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS ...€¦ · RURAL MICRO-GRIDS: EDA APPROACH FOR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELS -TARIFFS, INVOICING AND MANAGEMENT- Antoine GRAILLOT](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042307/5ed3358e20ca8951594596b6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Water tank simile
The tank gets a constant trickle inflow from the
micro-grid proportional to the contracted energy
daily allowance
The tank empties as energy is consumed
When the consumption is equal to the fill up rate
we are in balanced consumption
You can use this energy anytime but you cannot
store more units than the tank’s capacity

The universal Dispenser is capable to handle:
• Net metering
• Quality of service: Different duration 24/24, 11/24, etc. and
interrumptibility [%] priority to various groups of customers (social
tariff, premium tariff,…).
• Community dispensers

Influences:
Price of energy
Price of contracted power
Limit of contracted power
Status of auxiliary relay (on or off)
Frequency mode: the Dispenser detects the variance of the microgrid’s
frequency, e.g. related to the state of the batteries.
Communication mode: the Dispenser receives information communicating the
status via its RS485 port
Time-Of-Use: the operator distributes the factors in a predefined table

1. Tariffs and business models should be designed in an early stage of the
project
2. Optimum tariff design is a key for user acceptance and long viability
of project
3. Monitor closely the fulfillment of commercial objectives
4. Monitor closely operating expenses and maintenance…
5. Review the tariff after two years of operation
6. Correct accordingly (if required)
