Country/Project/System System applied successful Challenges
Indonesia / MHP /Micro Hydro Schemes
  • Communal-set tariffs
  1. Flat rate (households)
  2. Item based (eg # of bulbs)
  3. Cluster metering
  • Overloading
  • Sanction management
Pakistan
  • Item based (eg # of bulbs)
planned in Ethiopia / EnDev / Micro Hydro Schemes
  • flat rate (no productive use) + mech.load limiter; only CLF, no social tariff
  • Expected challenges:
  1. billing - recovery rate too low
  2. monitoring of applied devices
  3. Static system
  • risk: pilot --> not cost covering
