Tiresia research group works in Task 13 labeled SETADISMA – Sustainable Energy Transition and Digitalization of Smart Mini-Grids for Africa. Tiresia researchers will work on the collection and the analysis of local social-economic data to accompany local energy demand analysis. Data will be exploited to inform the definition of guidelines for social business models designed for the delivery of mini-grids in rural communities.
