SALIENT SUCCESS FACTORS (Reduction of Connection Cost)
Cost Vs Uptake
Interventions
• Use of Low Cost Solutions(Ready Box, SWER)
• Standard Connection – Actual Cost – Schemes/Groups – Village STD Cost – National STD Cost
– P 5000 – Subsidy, NEF – Actual – 5000 – 5 Thebe/kWh

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION CHALLENGES AND INTERVENTIONS
SALIENT CHALLENGES
• Low Buying Power • Isolated and Sparsely
Distributed Communities
• Lack of Funding for Appropriate Solutions
• Cultural Backgrounds, Acceptability
LOW UPTAKE
POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS
• Innovative Ways of Lowering Connection Cost
• Use of Mini Grids
• Secure Funds/Commitments by Governments
• Education Campaigns and Community Involvement
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
• Rural Electrification Mandatory for Upliftment of Rural Communities
• Salient Success Factors: – Institutional Frameworks and Structures
– Funding and Community Involvement
• Botswana Made Some Strides : – Lot of Investments Done (More than 1.3 Billion Invested)
– Income Generating Establiments Realised ( 11174 SMEs)
– With National Access at 75%; The Vision target of 80% Within Reach.
• Still Electrification Gap and Challenges
• Alternative Energy Sources (Renewables) Being Seriously Considered. – e.g. 100 MW PV Plant at Tendering Stage.
THE BIG QUESTION
• Africa Has a Common Problem of Rural Poverty
• African Governments/Utilities Need a Common Commitment to Combat The Poverty.
• As players in the Electricity Sector, What is our common agenda to develop Rural Africa ?
Let’s pen it down ……………
Let’s set milestones ……….
Let’s review ..………..
Let’s journey together towards development of our common people in Rural Africa
