Abstract:
Price elasticity of electricity demand has so far been widely neglected by most stakeholders in the mini-grid sector, leading to false conclusions regarding the effect of tariff adjustments on revenue, or the impact of grant funding/RBF instruments on tariffs. Collaterally, as demand was considered to be fixed, the potential benefits of economies of scale in mini-grids have also re mained under-investigated.

This document is a project proposal summarizing the stakes of price elasticity and seeking to: a) generate a much better understanding of demand and supply
patterns in mini-grids, and b) explore the regulatory and financial implications of such patterns.
