Knowledge Product Highlights: The Energy Solutions Toolkit for ICT Projects

Developed by dot-ORG in collaboration with Winrock International, the web-based interactive Energy Solutions Toolkit for ICT Projects helps users select the most cost-effective mix of ICT and energy systems for projects across sectors.

Presentation slide It provides useful information about the energy requirements of ICT equipment, energy solutions for rural ICT projects, and decision-making support tools in the form of spreadsheets as well as web-based calculation tools. You'll also find case studies from around the world and many links to other related resources on the web.
