Village-scale clean energy microgrids have the potential to power rural development by bringing electricity to over 1.2 billion people who currently lack access. Past efforts to electrify rural communities have been plagued by energy theft, unaffordable connection costs, intermittent supply, and poor maintenance. The Rural Electric Power Project (REPP) seeks to address these problems by incorporating new technology as well as more sustainable financing and distribution mechanisms – including pay-as-you-go power systems – to better serve the rural poor.
