Additional Support
- Procurement support
- Developing local standards for grid connection
- Facilitating group applications for grid connections
- Training of local electricians for in-house wiring
- Training of consumers in energy use and efficiency
- Ex-ante savings for connection fees
- Introduction of installment payments of the connection fee linked to the electricity bills
Lessons learnt
- Some utilities are not interested in grid densification
- Poor households are often excluded in extension projects
- Some utilities have great difficulties to organize efficient procurement processes causing severe delays
- Free rider effect difficult to avoid (efficient selection process or accept the effect)
- Detailed monitoring is considered a burden and not always implemented
- In several countries power generation capacity cannot keep up with grid extension
- In rural areas several households are connected to a meter to save the connection fee which can be legal or illegal according to national and local regulation. In some of these case voltage drop can be a severe problem
