| description |
The report presents the solar
electrification program in Swaziland, aimed at meeting the
basic electrical needs of rural communities, of which
currently, less than five percent is connected to power
grids. Although implementation efforts have been made
towards the development of sustainable solar markets in the
country, a number of constraints, and barriers hinder
implementation, e.g., rigid product assortment, focused on
photovoltaic technology, rather than service delivery, and,
aggravated by poor access to credit. The initial step,
creation of awareness will play a pivotal role, since
acceptance of solar electrification by the rural community,
the government, and the electricity utility Swaziland
Electricity Board (SEC), is critical to the sustainability
of the program. The deliverables of this solar
electrification program include: basic needs assessment,
focused on energy needs for both productive, and community
activities; development, and implementation of a wide range
of solar products, delivery modes, and promotion strategies;
monitoring, and evaluation of solar energy uptake, energy
use, energy expenditures, and user satisfaction, compared
with baseline conditions; and, continued efforts to prod, at
a national level, the enactment of a rural electrification policy. |
