This mini-guide serves to provide a snapshot of some of the themes explored in the toolkit (Carbon Trust, 2017).

This is a case study about the Polokwane project looking at exploring alternative energy solutions for low income households in peri-urban areas of Ga-Dikgale (SEA, 2017).

This toolkit’s principal aim is to be a key reference document for the development of sustainable business models and operational off-grid projects in South Africa. (Carbon Trust & CSIR, 2017)

This booklet briefly examines alternative energy technologies and associated energy sources available in the market that are cleaner, appropriate, applicable and sustainable relative to those that are currently available and used by informal households for their domestic energy requirements.

These posters provide an overview of the results of a household energy-use survey that took place in Dikgale, Polokwane. (Sustainable Energy Africa, 2016)

This survey looked at household energy requirements for cooking, lighting, heating and cooling. The purpose of the survey was to gain an understanding of current energy use demands and needs, as well as household perceptions on energy use and awareness in Ga-Dikgale, Polokwane.
