Minigrids are widely advocated as the most appropriate solution for solving universal energy access in the developing world. However, few minigrids achieve sustainable long-term operations without subsidy. Our partnership is trialling an innovative approach to minigrid design and installation in marginalised Maasai communities in Northern Tanzania. On our "Smart Village" electrification and development model, we work with communities to determine their needs and ability to pay, and design an integrated technology approach that combines a clean energy minigrid with a suite of appropriate and relevant technologies for productive uses, agricultural productivity and value addition, and community services such as healthcare, education and clean water, in order to promote sustainable long-term community development, which also has the effect of increasing demand for power from the minigrid and improving the community's ability to pay. We will test this approach in four offgrid Maasai communities, to try to achieve a sustainable business model that can be applied more widely, and will also follow a rigourous monitoring and impact analysis regime to collect the evidence necessary to prove the benefits of this approach.

微型电网被广泛认为是解决发展中国家普遍获得能源问题的最适当解决方案。然而，很少有微型电网在没有补贴的情况下实现可持续的长期运营。我们的合作伙伴关系正在坦桑尼亚北方边缘化的马赛社区试用一种创新的微网设计和安装方法。在我们的“智慧村庄”电气化和发展模式中，我们与社区合作，确定他们的需求和支付能力，并设计一种综合技术方法，将清洁能源微型电网与一套适当的相关技术相结合，用于生产用途，农业生产力和增值，以及社区服务，如医疗保健，教育和清洁水，以促进可持续的长期社区发展，这也具有增加对小型电网的电力需求和提高社区支付能力的效果。我们将在四个离网的马赛社区测试这种方法，以尝试实现可广泛应用的可持续商业模式，并将遵循严格的监测和影响分析制度，以收集必要的证据来证明这种方法的好处。
