Climate change is the defining issue of our time. from shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impact of climate change is global in scope and unprecedented in scale.We must move rapidly to ensure that a greater proportion of our energy is generated from renewable sources. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the required Energy Transition will predominantly be achieved through Independent Power Producers (IPPs) who secure their funding from Global Capital markets.Whilst the mitigation of climate change is urgent and essential, it is also vital that we see a fair transition to a new energy infrastructure, a transition is therefore needed which does not leave behind poor and disadvantaged communities.In South Africa, the generation of renewable energy has been encouraged through the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Programme (REIPPP). This programme requires IPPs to allocate 2.5% of their total funding to socio-economic projects.This project seeks to test the feasibility of charging a bank of small batteries from solar farms installed by IPPs, then utilising those batteries to provide power to low income/rural households and micro businesses. It is envisaged that the power would be provided free of charge as part of the IPPs social commitment. The feasibility project will specifically address the viability of delivering this project in Kwa Zulu-Natal, focusing on a cluster of five off grid villages around the town of Cato Ridge. We will also test the model through discussions with a number of IPPs, working in South Africa.The operational model we wish to test is for a social enterprise to manage the distribution of the batteries to households within a prescribed programme. It is envisaged that the batteries would be replaced on a weekly basis. We wish to test the ideal size of battery for this purpose and the most practical arrangements for this, within a dispersed rural community.The project will be structured to ensure that at least 50% of the beneficiaries of the project are women living in rural areas.There are a number of specific innovations within the project**Technical Innovations**(i) AI supported Business Model which supports IPPs in their planning of effective socio-economic programmes.(ii) Affordable mini energy router;**Business Innovations**Social enterprise "energy for rent" shops;**Sustainable community Innovations**Mitigate energy poverty in rural areas.Create jobs for local communitySupport women entrepreneurs

气候变化是我们这个时代的决定性问题。从威胁粮食生产的天气模式变化，到增加灾难性洪水风险的海平面上升，气候变化的影响是全球性的，规模空前。我们必须迅速采取行动，确保生产更多的能源来自可再生资源。在撒哈拉以南非洲，所需的能源转型将主要通过独立发电商（IPP）实现，这些发电商从全球资本市场获得资金。虽然缓解气候变化紧迫且至关重要，但我们看到一个公平的环境也至关重要向新能源基础设施的过渡，因此需要在不留下贫困和弱势社区的情况下进行过渡。在南非，通过可再生能源独立电力生产商计划（REIPPP）鼓励可再生能源的生产。该计划要求独立发电厂将其总资金的 2.5% 分配给社会经济项目。该项目旨在测试从独立发电厂安装的太阳能发电场为一组小型电池充电，然后利用这些电池为低收入/低收入者提供电力的可行性。农村家庭和微型企业。据设想，作为独立发电厂社会承诺的一部分，电力将免费提供。该可行性项目将专门解决在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省实施该项目的可行性问题，重点关注卡托岭镇周围五个离网村庄的集群。我们还将通过与在南非工作的一些独立发电厂进行讨论来测试该模型。我们希望测试的运营模型是让社会企业在规定的计划内管理向家庭的电池分配。预计电池将每周更换一次。我们希望在分散的农村社区内测试用于此目的的理想电池尺寸以及最实际的安排。该项目的结构将确保至少 50% 的项目受益人是生活在农村地区的妇女该项目中有许多具体创新**技术创新**(i) 人工智能支持的商业模式，支持独立发电厂规划有效的社会经济计划。(ii) 经济实惠的迷你能源路由器；**商业创新* *社会企业“能源出租”商店；**可持续社区创新**减轻农村地区的能源贫困。为当地社区创造就业机会支持女企业家
