This guide by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) outlines a six-step lifecycle approach for implementing large-scale health facility electrification, with provisions for expediting the process in emergency settings.

• The proposed framework for health facility electrification consists of six sequential steps: stakeholder consultation, national health facility mapping, energy needs assessments, analysis, costing, and the development of an implementation strategy.
• National health facility mapping should focus on the current power status of facilities, their proximity to the grid, GIS coordinates, and layout. This data is used to create a priority index based on factors such as the type of facility, catchment area, and existing power sources.
• Energy needs assessments are divided into defining needs based on national health policy and conducting energy audits. Energy needs are categorized into medical services, infrastructure, ICT equipment, and additional needs such as staff quarters.
• To achieve economies of scale and reduce procurement and installation costs, the guide recommends using a limited number of standardized system specifications for facilities categorized the same, particularly for primary and secondary healthcare facilities.
• Costing for solar PV systems with storage typically ranges from $4/Wp to $8/Wp for capital expenditure (CapEx), though this varies by country context. Operational expenditure (OpEx) is driven by labor, spare parts, and logistics, with component lifespans ranging from 7-10 years for batteries to 20-25 years for solar PV panels.
