In 1998 the government of Guatemala
privatized the two companies responsible for distributing
electricity in rural areas. The new owner, Union Fenosa, was
obliged to implement an ambitious five-year rural
electrification program. The goal: to increase the share of
households with an electricity connection from 64 percent to
90 percent by 2004. Under this output-based scheme the two
companies are paid US$650 for each eligible residential
connection made. If no connections are made, no payment is
made. So far the scheme has performed well-completing
122,000 new rural connections between May 1999 and May
2002-and is on track for the 2004 targets. |
