Creighton, ID Ault, Holly Keyes, ME Availability unrestricted Abstract
Tsumkwe, the largest off‐grid settlement in Namibia, currently operates on a medium voltage, diesel‐powered mini‐grid, which is costly and inefficient. The Desert Research Foundation of Namibia is implementing a solar diesel hybrid to bring more stable electricity to the people of Tsumkwe. The goal of the Tsumkwe Energy Skills Assessment was to determine what skills people in Tsumkwe have and what businesses are wanted in order to facilitate local economic growth once better electricity is available.
