The following forms of renewable energy generation will be considered eligible:
- Solar
- Wind
- Hydro
- Tidal
- Biogas
Note: generation of energy through biomass is ineligible for this round.
Battery storage and other forms of system firming are eligible.
Micro-grids, mini-grids, wiring and distribution systems to households or facilities, metering systems, controllers, monitors and inverters are eligible.
Where renewable energy is the primary source of electricity generation, appliances to convert the electricity to priority development and climate adaptation outcomes for beneficiary communities will be considered, for example:
- Lighting
- Cold storage, refrigeration and freezing
- Dessication and other forms of processing for food or agricultural products
- e-Transport
- Water purification and desalination
- Water pumping or irrigation
- Health care, education and IT appliances
- Communications.
This list is not exhaustive. Other appliances will be considered, but it is expected these will be linked to renewable energy generation provided through the same project. Rigorous evidence of community demand for the appliances will be essential.
