- •
We review approaches available in the literature for load profile formulation of rural consumers.
- •
We develop and describe a new stochastic bottom-up mathematical procedure.
- •
We implement the new procedure in the software LoadProGen.
- •
We validate the procedure with a case study based on a rural college in Cameroon.
- •
The procedure can be employed to support the design process of off-grid rural electrification systems.
