In order to broker a transaction with CrossBoundary’s financing facility to acquire their microgrid assets in Tanzania, PowerGen needed to be able to start reporting regularly and reliably on power outages and service reliability at the end-user connection level, instead of at the site level.
We worked with PowerGen and CrossBoundary to understand the needs and current capability of the teams involved. We then developed a custom report that leveraged the detailed information reported by our meters and provided PowerGen and their stakeholders with outage information at the connection, site and portfolio level. With this information available automatically to them, PowerGen became to our knowledge the first minigrid utility on the African continent to be able to provide accurate SAIDI and SAIFI metrics to their stakeholders.
