1. Industrial customers can be served with more reliable power, enabling: Three work shifts increasing jobs and profits Expanded operations and production

2. Rural electrification can be planned and managed centrally. Faster access for energy poor areas Coordination of rural plans with national plan

3. Integration of local generation and microgrids

Funding Model: Venture Philanthropy

1. Initial capital cost of systems must be donated2. Utilities can stabilize and secure their revenue3. Utilities can expand their service territories into rural areas4. Governments can tax revenue with tamper-proof data from Energy Brains5. Encourages and enables private investment in energy infrastructure

Budget, Timeline, Costs, Revenue

1. Initial capital expenditures ($165MM USD): Energy Brains: $5MM USD each Energy Control Centers (ECC) with ten energy nodes: $10MM USD/nation

2. Timeline: Energy Brains: 12 months after funding Haiti Energy Control Center: 12 to 18 months after funding Other Energy Control Centers: 12 months after completion of Haiti, local

approval, and funding.3. Operations and Maintenance Costs:

Per ECC (facilities, staffing, and training): $1MM USD per year. Energy Brains: $25k/month/ECC

4. Revenue opportunities: Service revenue Public/Private Partnerships Franchising
