Abstract
Few examples of pay-for-performance service delivery models have been as successful, particularly in the development context, as the “Energy Access” market. Originally the domain of non-governmental organizations and government rural electrification programs in developing countries, the energy access sector has transitioned to a vibrant marketplace with potential for continued scaling. The market has developed to the point, enabled by rapid reductions in solar PV and lighting prices, expanded telecom coverage, innovation in machine-to-machine technology development, and “last-mile” business models, that traditional aid now is seen as a threat to further market growth. This article examines the trends that enabled the rapid deployment of off-grid solar markets based on pay-as-you-go electricity service that is yielding significant health and economic benefits for those living in many of the most remote communities in developing countries.
