Planning clean electrification solutions for rural areas in Guatemala
For designing clean electrification solutions, it is needed to estimate the energy demand, as well as to consider the existing infrastructure and renewable energy potential of the country. This project aims to improve the planning and design of electrification projects in the Central American region
Keywords: Energy systems modelling, Energy consumption patterns, Renewable energy, Rural electrification
A framework will be developed for coupling the energy systems demand-supply aspects, proposing clean electrification solutions for the Central American region, starting from case studies in Guatemala. The candidate will perform fieldwork with the lead researcher in Guatemala for an estimated duration of one month (based in Guatemala City, but constantly traveling to rural areas) and s/he will be able to interact directly with the Guatemalan partners of this project. Please find attached a more detailed description of the opening.

The aim of this research is to identify the potential sites for the deployment of rural electrification projects in Guatemala, providing as well solutions based on a geographic characterization of the energy demand, the existing infrastructure in the country and the availability of natural resources to promote the use of renewable energies.
