- Abstract:
- Exploration of the hypothesis that for disperse, rural communities, isolated and locally-run systems of electricity generation and provision are often technically, economically, socially and environmentally preferable to public energy provision via a centralised national grid. This is thought to be particularly true where local renewable energy resources are used and beneficiaries actively participate in service provision and administration. Nevertheless, national grid extensions continue to be the preferred route for many governments of developing countries
