Project Information:
The project aims to expand energy access to remote villages, leading to improved development outcomes in health, education, and economic development for beneficiary communities. This will enable reliable, clean, and affordable electricity and in turn improve social, economic, and health benefits to rural communities. Providing electricity access to isolated communities will result in improved economic benefits, reducing the relative cost of energy access by eliminating the cost of diesel generators for energy-reliant businesses. The project is in support of the Ministry’s objective of increasing access to electricity in rural communities and exploring a variety of alternative sources of renewable energy. It is envisioned that the project will contribute to the Government's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing multiple development initiatives. Furthermore, the project will enhance partnerships between public, private, and social sector stakeholders to address poverty reduction and encourage the participation of the private sector in the provision of commercially viable energy services in rural communities.

The project started implementation over a year ago and will be closing in December, 2025.
