| Summary: | This paper provides background
information on decentralized electrification, and, attempts
to fulfill two objectives: review methods of decentralized
electrification intervention, and provide a step-by-step
approach for project implementation. Chapter 1 provides a
brief overview, and summary of rural electrification
options, while Chapter 2 identifies implementation options
for decentralized electrification, focusing on either
individual initiatives, or collective/cooperative
approaches. Discussions of key factors necessary to create a
conducive environment for the promotion of decentralized
electrification are featured in Chapter 3, which includes
legal, regulatory, and fiscal incentives, in addition to
sustainable financing mechanisms, and necessary technical
assistance to promote projects. Chapter 4 then defines the
role of government, and briefly discusses the functions of
government agencies for the promotion of decentralized
electrification. Chapter 5 provides a step-by-step guide
through five stages for project implementation, each stage
divided into discrete steps to explore a project's
feasible decentralized electrification. Such steps deal with
institutional and regulatory environment, market
identification and assessment, technology and product
options, delivery mechanisms, and financing. |
