CHALLENGES OF COMMUNITY BASED RE
Definition of Electrification◦Replacing wick lamp, wood, kerosene lamp???◦Electricity for evening lighting x Wp PV ???◦Availability of electricity for or amount ???
Sustainability and economic benefits of investment◦Role of government◦Awareness of capacity of local
Improvement in Livelihood◦Comparing themselves◦Compare to city or Capital◦Compare to global
CHALLENGES OF COMMUNITY BASED RE
is
NOT TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO
MODERN LIGHTS its
SUSTAINABILITY OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIN AND INCREASED
LIVING STANDARD OF LOCAL PEOPLE.
CHALLENGES OF COMMUNITY BASED RE
Up scaling and upgrading – scaling implementation & upgrading quality
Financial viability in business model
Remoteness and difficult geography high transportation cost.
Sustainability – O & M of plant in local level
Integrated planning and inter-connection of off and on grid systems
BARRIERS IN UPSCALING
High initial upfront costs of technology for end-users
Sub-optimal financing mechanisms – grant/subsidy-long approval process
Lack of access to credit - high transaction costs
Productive consumption of energy produced – end use promotion
Funds to be arranged by community is very high.
Procurement by community - Bidding process, low bargaining power, end with poor quality high cost
WAY FORWARD To shorten the project development period –subsidy
approval and financial closure.
Promotion of credit facilities in rural area. Expansion of reach of financial institution. Cutting/sharing the overhead cost Subsidized interest rates on credit
Mobilization of urban developers in rural areas – need of FIT
Equitable investment by government by cross subsidy-Urban Vs Rural
Strong policy to promote rural energy based enterprises.
More comprehensive capacity building for local on O & M skills
