No full textAlthough rural electrification using mini-grids has attracted recent
global attention, the concept has been there for quite some time. Consequently, a
number of analytical approaches exist to support the decision-making process.
This chapter first provides a review of literature dealing with analytical frameworks
for off-grid and mini-grid based electrification projects. The range of analytical
options includes simple worksheet-based tools to more sophisticated
optimisation tools for technology selection as well as assessments based on multicriteria
analysis. This is followed by an evaluation of mini-grid based off-grid
electrification projects in India that allows the identification of critical factors for
the success of such projects. Finally, the chapter proposes an integrated approach
for analysing decentralised mini-grid projects in a holistic manner
