Financed under the framework of the “ACP-EU Energy Facility” programme and conducted in consortium with local and international partners, the project consisted of the electrification of the community of Monte Trigo in the island Santo Antão. TTA was the technical partner responsible of site assessment and demand study, design and engineering, installation supervision and commissioning; it also included the definition and creation of a services operator. The micro grid was commissioned and has been in operation since February 2012. In February 2014, a generation expansion was completed, which allowed increasing the number of home users connected to the micro-grid.
