A Program for Rural Electrification with Renewable Energy Using the Popular Participation Law

The programme being initiated in this project seeks to test out a process whereby rural communities can develop an organization to obtain financing for their renewable electrification investments, procure the renewable energy services from private sector providers, oversee installation of those systems and contract for the maintenance of those systems. For this process to be sustainable, the households and communities must be satisfied with the electrify services provided while paying back the principal and interest to the relevant financial institutions.
