| Abstract | Several World Bank Group projects now underway are exploring improved means to provide modern energy services to the more than two billion people in developing countries who remain without access. In remote areas, new technologies for off-grid rural electrification promise environmentally benign access to electricity at a lower cost than conventional technologies. This paper presents emerging design issues regarding off-grid electricity service, including new business models and, least cost options for village power, as well as initial lessons learned from rural off-grid concessions in Argentina and twelve solar home system projects. |
