The device not only integrates prepayment, but also limits power and energy according to programmed values. The meters also integrate the possibility to disconnect loads based on priorities. In case of an overloaded grid, low-priority charges are disconnected first, while high-priority charges (health station) remain connected as long as possible. | | *Utilisation of pre-paid meters.

The origins of the PPP project can be traced to a business trip organised by GTZ on behalf of the ministry of economy in 2006. Several German enterprises visited Senegal and, in the aftermath, two projects materialised: the PPP between INENSUS and GTZ/PERACOD and a second PPP between solar23, dena and GTZ/PERACOD, see PPP solar23.
In early 2011, the PPP was awarded two prestigious awards: the IKU award 2010 and the SEED award 2010. (See info flyer on the SEED award here.)
One of the innovative approaches of this PPP is the integration of three different generation technologies into one minigrid. Several benefits are meant to be realised this way:
In a first phase, wind measurements were taken at five villages. Four of the five sites were chosen alongside the so-called "Grande Cote" (big coast) region of Senegal, north of Dakar. This region is known for its wind potential and has been investigated for other wind energy projects as well (see a TERNA study here). A last site was chosen inland along the delta of rivers Sine and Saloum.
The wind measurements were conducted with poles of 12m that carried two anemometers, one at 7m and another at 12m height. After 12 months of measurement, the site of Sine Moussa Abdou showed the most potential: average wind speed was estimated to be 5.27m/s at the hub height of 18m (more information in this document). This village was subsequently chosen for the implementation of a pilot project.
In addition, the first phase dealt with the elaboration of a business plan and the adaptation of INENSUS’ approach to the Senegalese framework conditions.
In a second phase, the village with the highest potential, Sine Moussa Abdou, was chosen for electrification. This part of the PPP was carried out in collaboration between GIZ/PERACOD, the newly founded INENSUS West Africa S.A.R.L. and EWE AG over a period of 18 months.
After the inauguration, some work remained to be done on the grid itself and concerning household installations. The project was continued until the end of 2010 and included monitoring, fostering of productive use activities, continued work with officials, and other activities.
The village has a population of about 900 inhabitants in 69 households. Principal activities are agriculture, animal husbandry and small-scale commerce. There is one primary school with three rooms, one health post, and one mosque.
