Grid Deployment Office U.S. Department of Energy
1) Will the microgrid be connected to the main power grid? If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.

6 FAQs about [Niger off grid microgrid]
Is Niger ready for a mini-grid?
In January 2019, with support from USAID and Power Africa, ANPER launched a nationwide feasibility study on mini-grid development, bringing Niger one step closer to its universal energy access goal.
What is the Niger mini-grid feasibility study?
“The Niger Mini-Grid Feasibility Study is an innovative approach to project development that gives a unique opportunity to foster strong ties between American mini-grid developers and the Government of Niger, through ANPER.” said ANPER’s Director General, Salouhou Hamidine.
Will Africa fully bypass centralized grid service?
With regard to off-grid generation in Africa, although off-grid resources have a role to play in expanding electric service, based on the extent of the existing electric grid infrastructure in Africa North, the continent is unlikely to fully bypass centralized grid service.
Why are off-grid systems so expensive?
Historically, off-grid systems have been expensive to operate because stand-alone generators are typically less efficient, higher heat rate units that consume relatively more expensive diesel fuel. As more solar photovoltaic and battery storage systems are deployed, however, this relationship may change.
Does Africa South have a centralized grid?
Compared with other emerging markets, Africa South electric systems tend to report relatively high outage rates, resulting in significant uncertainty for centralized grid customers. As a result, some customers install backup generators, generally fueled by diesel oil.
Why did anper develop a solar mini-grid?
ANPER realized that solar mini-grids offer a cost-effective, fast pathway to delivering first-time energy access to 1,000 rural villages. ANPER also knew that the country needed a robust feasibility study to attract international mini-grid developers and private sector investment.
