Community Based Rural Electrification


"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. "
