Five different energy generation options are assessed for the supply analysis as displayed in Figure 1. Energy generation from wind and hydro are not selected to be analysed further since they present poor potential in the area. Diesel generators are available and can be a good option for backup power, but there are constraints related to supply and cost of fuel. Finally, solar energy and anaerobic digestion are selected since they present good potential due to the excellent solar resource and availability of waste in the area.
