Objective 5

MicroFEWs Synthesis

What are the feedbacks between the on-grid infrastructure components described in Objective 4, and the off-grid drivers of the local FEW nexus?

	Status
Evaluate effects of the models (i.e. scenarios) from Objective 4 on FEW metrics	Completed
In the Decision Theater North (DTN), present to the stakeholder advisory board members the scenarios with effects on FEW metrics	Deferred due to COVID
Hold subsequent meetings to refine scenarios	Completed
Characterize differences between modeling processes/outcomes at the three communities to address MicroFEWs scalability	Completed
Share results with the broader scientific community nationally and globally through journals and presentations in technical, trade, and policy forums, and outreach to related organizations	Completed
