This study first reviews the cost of
grid extension in a number of countries. It then identifies
ways to reduce costs by examining how they are affected by a
variety of factors. An electricity supply system may be
divided into two discrete components: the grid extension and
the low-voltage distribution system. This study will focus
on the first of these two components, the cost of grid
extension. Three questions asked are: 1) What factors give
rise to the costs commonly associated with grid extension
for rural electrification? 2) Are high costs intrinsic to
grid extension? If not, what has been learned from
experiences around the world about technical design options
that can reduce the capital cost incurred in line
construction as well as the recurring costs incurred in
operating the system? 3) How low can these costs typically be? |
