Ensuring Sustainability of Off-Grid Projects

Overview

This Policy Brief discusses the need to introduce off-grid power systems as a viable option to overcome challenges in access to power. This is in response to a felt need to enable access to consistent quality and quantity of power that in turn, can be expected to reinforce other developmental initiatives, further correlated to costs in the immediate and long-term. The paper cites some cases that reveal challenges in establishing such off-grid systems, substantiated with tried and recommended solutions. These insights are presented through the policy lens essential for appropriate mainstreaming of off-grid systems.
