Book Description
The study's principal objective was to develop a practical method to measure the benefits of rural electrification. This method involved both formal and informal techniques of data collection; quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis; and concepts such as quality of life, effects on education, and other key components of social development. Critical to the analysis is the separation of electricity from the many other factors that affect socioeconomic outcomes, such as income, level of education, and the returns to household investment in education. The major conclusion of this study is that the benefits of electricity are derived from a variety of sources. The study also suggests future research and analytical needs. One key conclusion is that it is possible to measure benefits traditionally considered intangible in monetary terms. The benefit estimates appear substantial, even for low-income populations.
The Challenge of Rural Electrification

Book Description
Douglas Barnes and his team of development experts provide an essential guide that can help improve the quality of life to the estimated 1.6 billion rural people in the world who are without electricity. The difficulties in bringing electricity to rural areas are formidable: Low population densities result in high capital and operating costs. Consumers are often poor, and their electricity consumption is low. Politicians interfere with the planning and operations of programs, insisting on favored constituents. Yet, as Barnes and his contributors demonstrate, many countries have overcome these obstacles. The Challenge of Rural Electrification provides lessons from successful programs in Bangladesh, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Mexico, the Philippines, Thailand, and Tunisia, as well as Ireland and the United States. These insights are presented in a format that should be accessible to a broad range of policymakers, development professionals, and community advocates. Barnes and his contributors do not provide a single formula for bringing electricity to rural areas. They do not recommend a specific set of institutional arrangements for the participation of public sector companies, cooperatives, and private firms. They argue instead that successful programs follow a flexible, but still well-defined set of principles: a financially viable plan that clearly accounts for any subsidies; a cooperative relationship between electricity providers and local communities; and an operational separation from day-to-day government and politics.

ISBN: 0821373684

Pages : 178
Book Description
Rural electrification can have many benefits-not only bringing lighting, but improving the quality of health care, spreading information and supporting productive enterprises. The extent of these benefits has been questioned, arguing that they may be insufficient to justify the investment costs. This book quantifies these benefits. It finds that the benefits can indeed be high, substantially outweighing the costs, and that consumer willingness to pay is generally sufficient to achieve financial sustainability. However, benefits could be increased further by providing smart subsidies to assist connections for poorer households, promote productive uses and further consumer education.
