Why this site.
A rural agro-processing cluster — 80 households alongside 8 productive-use loads (rice mills, welders, a small cold store). The productive-use anchors underwrite the household tariff, which is how the unit economics close at a price the community can pay.
Currently the cluster runs on shared diesel generators at roughly USD 0.45 per kWh. A mini-grid at USD 0.21 will pay back the productive-use customers' switching cost in under nine months.
