| description |
The insufficient, and unsustainable
supplies of energy, constitute what may be called an
"energy poverty" or "resource poverty",
affecting some forty percent of people in the developing
world, which impedes development by inhibiting investment in
productive activities, wastes human resources, further
reducing the productivity of current activities, and,
threatens the environment through greenhouse gas emissions,
and air pollutants. This paper concentrates only on the
peri-urban population, because this group needs to be our
priority target if we want to rapidly improve
electrification in poor households. This is for several
reasons: about forty percent of the world's poor live
in peri-urban areas, while households in those areas are
easier, and less expensive to electrify than un-served rural
households, i.e., urban areas are densely populated, and
located on, or close to the grid, thus generation
transmission, and distribution costs are much lower than
isolated rural areas. Moreover, promoting peri-urban
electrification could be a win-win solution for utilities,
and poor consumers, by preventing illegal connections
through a well-planned electrification scheme, that will
create a sound environment for a profitable, and expanding
business, since peri-urban households are the potential
future consumers of the utilities. |
