Community Energy Toolkit (COMET)
Formerly known as the Mini Grid Game, the Community Energy Toolkit (COMET) is an interactive role-playing software that facilitates the planning and operation of community-sized mini-grid systems. Within this platform, users simulate real-world scenarios, from managing household energy consumption to setting tariffs and handling finances. Each decision made by a user is visible to all, promoting transparency and collective decision-making. COMET enables users to tackle mini-grid challenges such as demand management and system sizing, while also enhancing skills in negotiation and consensus-building. This tool is designed to educate and engage communities, making energy management both accessible and enjoyable.
As of 2023, COMET has evolved from ENACT to stand as its own independent social enterprise.
COMET software is continuously in the process of adding new features and updates. To learn more about COMET click here.
COMET Workshops
Energy Action Partners completed a series of three half-day minigrid planning workshops in June 2017, held in the rural communities of Kg. Buayan, Kg. Terian and Kg. Timpayasa in Ulu Papar, Sabah. In these workshops, local residents used COMET in a new and novel approach to building community energy systems. The workshops were supported by WISIONS of Sustainability.
