University of Southampton – Installation of two mini-grids with 13.5 kWp capacity each (Uganda)
The University of Southampton installed two 13.5 kWp PV-battery mini-grids in rural Uganda to replace kerosene and diesel power. While the project successfully connected over 144 businesses, two health centres, and two schools, rapid demand growth eventually exceeded design capacity, leading to battery failure and blackouts. Future upgrades involving lithium-ion batteries and diesel backup are planned in collaboration with the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).
