Following a workshop in Djibouti to discuss the recommendations of the Task 1 Report, Randa was selected by ADDSas the village to become the pilot for the minigrid. However, at the same time it was expected that Randa would be part of a broader programme to develop solar-diesel mini- and microgrids in Djibouti and that some of the other minigrids and microgrids might be supplied with other technologies such as wind. The Consultant was therefore requested, without changing the scope of work, to design the pilot in such a way that it would ultimately be as useful as possible for the broader programme to roll-out of minigrids and microgrids.
