There are several 'powering healthcare' resources (incl. COVID-19 specific) available on our website: https://www.seforall.org/energy-and-health/covid-19-response-powering-health-facilitiesResources included on system design, sustainability, etc ...

What size systems do you need?

What are major health risks in the region? also what is the COVID situation?

I would like to learn the sustainability aspect of this fully funded project in Tanzania . Thanks .

Can you comment on the size of the system(s) that are needed in terms of kW (e.g. 75kW) and is will these be completely off-grid or grid-tied?

We looked into a similar kind of project in Nyarugusu, one of the issues we strugled with was to mitigate the risk of theft or damage to the panels. Do you have any thoughts on how to incentivise people to protect the new systems? Maybe the health benefit (being a public good) will be a strong enough factor...

Funding opportunity from PAOP around healthcare electrification: https://www.rti.org/current-opportunities (deadline tomorrow …)

Please share the full technical specification/load profile of what you need, we have a range of solutions which are manufactured, tested and ready to deploy in our factory in Kenya. these solutions include remote monitoring and can also be hybridisd with grid and or generators

agreed on that, the numbers from Tanzania, can’t be sure of, is there in influx or exodus of migrants to and from the camps?

Will host communities also have access to these electrified health facilities in the camps ? If yes, will awareness be raised with them on some of the new or better services that might be offered?

Do the health centers include operating theaters/ blood/ oxygen etc - beyond basic and maternal and child care? Also any specialized care presently offered? Also does the design include health staff quarters as well?

In the case of malaria - are the health posts capable of detecting malaria, do they have lab equipments - microscopes, slide warmers and are these machines energy efficient?

Will the energy be used for electrical institutional cooking in health clinics - if such cooking facilities exist? (silent question, not able to be on audio).

How do we follow up to find out more specifically if we can help?

Hey! Very good project. Do you plan to mount systems on roofs? If you plan to expand the installation in the future, it would be great to identify a location where you can expand.

Agriculture waste are often used to maintain soil fertility. Has there some background work done if there are actually “free” to b used for pellets ? Also, collecting and transporting agriculture waste can be very expensive. Any estimates on if production of pellets is economically viable?

What is the ownership model for the processing facilities?

what type of briquettes are you planning to produce?

NGO discussions on “e-mobility as service”, is it intended only to NGOs working locally?

Thank for the explanation, I think the idea is to work on maize cobs and residues not used at the transformation level.

Are you already talking to WFP?

Is the processed maize meant for internal consumption or packaged and sold in external markets? - would packaging equipment can be included and storage infrastructure can be (energy)efficiently designed. In case of the maize cobs - would diverting it towards animal feed production be possible?

:-)

What is the technology being used to turn corncobs into energy ( which company’s tech ) and what’s the cost of energy being produced per kWh?

Thanks so much, happy to connect later and exchanging some learnings on tech, finance and ownership models especially for the agri processing center

Just to add, the project will be set up as an SPV (in response to the ownership question)

Thanks Peter and Ronan, fasncinating project, clearly a huge amount of work behind it. Grateful if you could contact me on haselip@unhcr.org for a follow up chat

Is there any consideration for electric cooking?

Great stuff Peter and Ronan!!

Hello, we hope the slides will be shared after the meeting.

Yes, slides and procedure for submitting projects and/or resources will be sent after the meeting. Thank you.

thanks Aimee

If appliances Oxygen concentrators/generators are not already there would be good to consider energy efficiency - would have implications on system costs - https://www.seforall.org/sites/default/files/2020-05/Efficiency-Oxygen-Concentrator.pdf

Response to COVID solutions - do they include solutions across testing to ICUs? We would be happy to connect on sharing learnings on COVID nodal points interventions

what are total system sizing for each hospital.

Schneider happy to discuss and also look at training and sustainability side

Thanks Daniela. Seems to be a great project. What is the distance between the 3 sites and the current energy situation? Are sites connected to a local grid or generators?

are any of the sites grid connected ? even partially

Do you have an estimate of the size (kW capacity) needed for each site and an idea of whether the systems would be best as ground-mount vs. rooftop systems?

@TomPrice, the technology is biomass cogeneration. Technology from Caterpillar CAT. In Hybrid with Solar PV. The Levelized cost of Electricity is $0.18/kWh - Mandulis Accenture - Rwamwanja CE3+

@Shahaab Javeri: Processed Maize will be prioritized for internal consumption within the settlement and the host community. Excess production can be supplied to the regional market. Maize Bran will be diverted towards Animal Feed Production, Meanwhile Maize Cobs retained for energy generation. Packaging will be included and storage infrastructure as well. Drying will be solar powered,

Thank you Peter

Thank you Daniela and for the additional technical details!

Hi Cecilia, EnDev has launched COVID-PAY in Mozambique. The objective is to ensure that off-grid households continue to have access to electricity and to avoid bankruptcy of PAYGO solar suppliers by allowing companies to offer special subsidized price promotions that reduce customers’ electricity expenses.

Hi Cecilia, we're ready to work on this with you and local MC team for next phase expansion in PAYG and also happy to work on solarization of the institutions

Any questions or comments for Cecilia?

Hi Cicilia, What sort of technical assessment support would you be required?

Could you please clarify the timeframe of the pilot? (apologies if already mentioned)

Thanks Aimee, Agnes and Jaime for this session. It was great. Like the initiative!

This was a great idea and very very useful, thank you for organising

Really enjoyed this session, thank you!

really good to make the connections between public and private sectors

Excellent Work everyone! Looking forward to the next session already... Thanks Jaime and Aimee!

Great idea and very useful to have a place to share ideas, project and create a bridge between different sectors

Thank you for this excellent forum and collaborative marketplace Jaime, Aimee and colleagues!!

Thank you all the teams for very relevant implementation ideas. Looking forward to more interactions. Thanks, GPA for this.

thanks so much! Looking forward to connecting and working with all.

This forum is a great space for candid and engaging conversations... these conversations will continue behind the scenes.

Thank you all, great to be part of this!

Thank you very much Aimee, Jaime, and team. Looking forward to learning more.
