This PPP case demonstrates how OBA enabled a government enterprise in charge of sustainable energy investments to form PPPs for rural electrification of low-income households. Solar panel and other sustainable energy technology dealers became PPP operators for installation and long-term maintenance of the equipment while the government focused on quality assurance, convening partnership with GPOBA and other donors as well as coordination of electrical grid planning, making sure that the PPP operators do not work in the place where the grid is expected soon.

Technical Regulations for Rural Electrification / Electric Network: Part I

This document aims to rehabilitate and develop rural distribution networks (medium and low voltages and off-grid systems) to meet with safety and reliability standards, meanwhile ensuring environmental protection, cost effectiveness and easy implementation. It also aims to ensure the development of the electricity of Vietnam in the transition period that is able to harmonize the current rural electricity.

Philippines: Rural Electrification - Marinduque, Romblon, Tablas, and Masbate

On four remote islands in the Philippines, small power projects are making a big difference in people’s lives. IFC helped the government attract private investment
in off-grid power generation, which will provide reliable and cheaper electricity to hundreds of thousands of people. The agreements were signed September 2005 and May 2007.
