| Summary: | The Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP)
was prepared in a participatory workshop with stakeholders,
to discuss renewable energy potential, problems, and
solutions, and synthesize study results into a draft action
report. The objective of the REAP is to provide
cost-effective, and reliable electricity to rural
populations, by supplying isolated households, and
communities with renewable sources of energy, and augmenting
grid supply in remote areas. The capacity-building phase
will build on the renewable energy policy, and institutional
development, support individual household and institutional
renewable energy systems, through the provision of
mini-grids based on hydro-hybrid plants. To this end
technical assistance, and investment support will be
provided to encourage small power producers of renewable
electricity for grid supply, from small hydro, bagasse, or
rice husk cogeneration, while other technologies will also
be supported, such as wind power. Lessons learned from the
REAP experience address the need to ensure a policy, and
legal framework to guide private sector involvement, by
first building capacity, and a strong institutional support,
to understand market characteristics, and support
development of commercial renewable energy businesses, to
include financial intermediation, and micro-finance. |
