From the Bottom Up: How Small Power Producers and Mini-Grids Can Deliver Electrification and Renewable Energy in Africa by Bernard Tenenbaum, Chris Greacen, Tilak Siyambalapitiya and James Knuckles, World Bank 2014.

Most Sub-Saharan African countries try to promote rural electrification through both centralized and decentralized approaches. Focusing on the decentralized approach, this guide:

Project targets include (a) provision of electricity access to households through solar home systems and independent mini-grids fed by micro hydros, wind and biomass generators, (b) electrification of small and micro rural enterprises through renewable energy resources and (c) addition of capacity through grid-connected renewable energy power plants. GOSL has appointed DFCC Bank as the RERED Administrative Unit (AU). The RERED Project channels funds through participating credit institutions (PCI) to individual investments.

Typically, a developer seeking RET project financing approaches a lender with a package that includes a fairly common slate of fundamental transaction documents. They may range from complex plans for a facility using a novel technology to simple (but important) term sheets for the deal or a loan. The purpose was to identify the most important of those documents and to replicate, in templates for those documents, the critical elements of a proposed transaction package. 

This Toolkit aims to support planners, developers, consultants and other interested parties with planning policies which require renewable energy in new developments or major refurbishments. It gives an insight into the cost benefit analysis of installing renewables, information on successful case studies and suggestions on how problems can be overcome. This Toolkit is designed for London but is a great source of general information.
