Promoting access to clean and affordable energy in urban informal settlements

ion Ventures和Zonke Energy将为南非的一个低收入城市社区开发一个微电网电气化系统。该项目旨在解决能源三难困境的所有三个领域：·成本·排放·供应和能源获取安全在南非，近100万家庭生活在没有电网连接的城市非正式定居点。在ion的支持下，Zonke打算开发和运营一个社区电气化系统，该系统将建立在Zonke开发的早期原型基础上。该项目将侧重于增强当地合作伙伴和社区的能力，促进当地城镇和当地学术中心内的知识传播。

ion Ventures and Zonke Energy will develop a microgrid electrification system for a low-income urban community in South Africa, off grid. The project is designed to hit all three areas of the energy trilemma of:• Cost• Emissions• Security of supply and energy accessIn South Africa, nearly one million households live in urban informal settlements without grid-connected electricity. Zonke, supported by ion, intend to develop and operate a community electrification system that will build on an early prototype that Zonke has developed. The project will have a focus on empowering local partners and communities, promoting knowledge dissemination both within the local township, and local academic centres.
