Energy Access for Development along the Southern Guinea Growth Corridor

Rio Tinto engaged TFE to undertake a scoping assessment in order to ascertain which opportunities exist for energy-access-enabled socio-economic development investment along the Simandou corridor in Guinea.

We evaluated and analyzed data from geospatial imagery, conducted desktop research to evaluate the local landscape including a supply-demand assessment and exploratory stakeholder mapping, identified local electrification opportunities that can catalyze sustainable local socio-economic development, mapped promising intervention options and developed cost-benefit scenarios and delivery model options for a subset of intervention projects to be implemented by Rio Tinto.
