"Rural electrification
brings electrical power to
rural and remote areas which is used not only for lighting and household purposes, but it also
allows for
mechanization of
many farming operations, such as threshing, milking, and hoisting grain for
storage. In areas facing labor shortages, this allows for greater
productivity at reduced cost."
"Traditional RE
practices under public or private
management possess high risk potential which has repelled investment on this sector but
Cooperative
concept
has started
a new wave of
rural
electrification and
has significantly reduced its losses and
community
participation has increased potential of success. Community based rural electrification
has
not only electrified the rural
community
but
it has also helped to create
a community of mutual cooperation for social
development. "
