CAMARGO, Ednaldo J. S. Programa Luz para Todos da eletrificação rural à universalização do acesso à energia elétrica. Da necessidade de uma política de Estado, 2010, 127 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Energia) Programa de Pós-Graduação em Energia da Universidade de São Paulo, 2010 A criação do Programa Luz para Todos, em 11 de novembro de 2003, por meio da Lei 10.762, e sua regulamentação pelo Decreto 4.873, da mesma data, trouxe novos temas para o âmbito do estudo da eletrificação rural. O Programa luz para Todos acumulou em sua estruturação uma somatória de conhecimentos e experiências anteriores, com um arranjo financeiro que possibilitou uma solução até então inédita para o atendimento do morador pobre das áreas rurais: a total gratuidade da ligação. Esta solução foi possível graças a um arranjo financeiro que envolveu diversas partes. O Governo Federal, com recursos de dois fundos setoriais a RGR Reserva Global de Reversão e a CDE Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético, sendo a CDE lançada a fundo perdido, como subvenção e a RGR na forma de financiamento, os Governos Estaduais e os agentes concessionários e permissionários, não havendo qualquer participação financeira de parte do consumidor a ser ligado. Este arranjo tripartite varia dependendo do impacto tarifário que a ligação ou conjunto de ligações gerar para o agente executor da obra...

This report studies the impact that gender differences in Bangladesh have on access to energy and energy services and the consequences of these impacts based on review of recent literature on the matter. The report concludes that the structural gender differences that arise from cultural and religious norms can lead to various impacts in access to energy services which in turn can have long term consequences on women and all these factors must be considered while designing rural energy- gender projects.

Sub-Saharan Africa trails other regions
in providing access to electricity for poor urban and rural
residents. This poor performance can be linked to various
factors, including political interference in utility policy,
higher investment costs and lower profitability of extending
service to rural areas. But a major obstacle to wider access
is the high charges consumers must pay to connect to the
electricity network. The connection charges in Sub-Saharan
Africa are among the highest in the world, which has
resulted in low rates of electrification in many countries.
This paper reviews ways to improve electrification rates by
addressing the issue of high connection charges. Essential
to the success of such efforts is concurrent political
commitment to identify, examine, and implement various
low-cost electrification approaches and financing solutions
as part of a broad plan to improve access. Electricity
companies can lower their connection-related costs, and thus
consumer charges, by using a variety of low-cost
technologies and materials in distribution networks and
household connections; making bulk purchases of materials;
and adjusting technical standards to reflect the lower loads
of households that use a minimum amount of electricity.
Strategies for lowering connection charges may also include
spreading charges over a reasonable period...

Reliable and affordable supply of
electricity is a key driver of economic growth. In recent
decades, many developing and emerging economies have
embarked on efforts to enhance the efficiency of their
electricity markets. The quest for efficiency often involves
structural reforms such as unbundling and other measures
designed to support greater competition in the power sector.
Open Access (OA) to Transmission and Distribution (T&D)
grids by market participants is an essential element in this
reform process. The study has proceeded on two tracks: one
based on empirical findings from specific country cases, and
a generic one synthesizing the emerging global issues in OA.
Reports for the country studies have been prepared for
Brazil, Peru, Turkey, India, and the Philippines. In
addition, a global review of the experience in a broader
group of countries, both developed and developing, has been
undertaken. Overall, the study has taken a broad approach to
defining OA - going well beyond the minimalist notion of
simply guaranteeing legal access to the grid for generators
and wholesale buyers.

The case studies documented in this
report aim to inform the energy access community (including
practitioners, civil society groups, project planners, end
users) about best practices of successful energy access
initiatives targeted at slum dwellers. Eight case studies
focusing on electrification and household energy were
selected from India, Bangladesh, Colombia and Brazil, all
countries that have had varying success in providing access
to modern energy services for slum dwellers. The cases had
to meet all or some of the following criteria: 1) limited to
developing countries; 2) demonstrate innovative methods of
improving energy access, including collaborative stakeholder
engagement; 3) at least one example of small local energy

Access to electricity in flexible, reliable, and sustainable forms brings a range of social and economic benefits, enabling people to leap from poverty to a better future, enhancing the quality of household life, and stimulating the broader economy. Modern energy is essential for the provision of health care; clean water and sanitation; and reliable and efficient lighting, heating, cooking, mechanical power, transportation, and telecommunications. To support the achievement of these goals, a starting point must be set, indicators developed, and a framework established to track those indicators until 2030. The World Bank and International Energy Agency have led a consortium of 15 international agencies to produce data on access to electricity for the SE4ALL Global Tracking Framework. Launched in 2013, the framework defines electricity access as the presence of an electricity connection in the household as typically reported through household surveys.

This knowledge note is the first of
three case studies that concerns scaling up access to
electricity in Africa, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. Lighting
Africa, a joint IFC and World Bank program launched in 2007,
was the first private-sector-oriented effort to leverage new
LED lighting technologies to build sustainable markets that
provide safe, affordable, and modern off-grid lighting to
communities in Africa that lack access to electricity. By
2030 the program aims to enable the private sector to reach
250 million people who now depend on fuel-based lighting.
The case study for Africa is important, because the
continent faces a huge rural electricity deficit. Global
electrification in 2010 was estimated to be about 83
percent. The deficit of 17 percent encompasses some 1.2
billion people. Achieving universal access to modern energy
services is one of the three complementary objectives of the
Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative. Lighting
Africa succeeded as a catalyst for the off-grid lighting
market in Sub-Saharan Africa. Another success is apparent in
the spectacular trajectory of solar lantern sales in Kenya.

This brief examines planning for
access to electricity. That electricity for all campaigns
around the globe often fall short of their targets is partly
a failure of planning. In the area of generation and
transmission, technical changes could improve the handling
of key constraints, such as fuel availability, funding, and
the rate of building. Planning for distribution networks
could be improved by gathering data on end-use demand and
deploying geospatial tools. Most important of all, the
entire planning process from generation to distribution must
be better coordinated if access plans are to be successful.

Although the payment models offered by
off-grid energy companies are less flexible than those
implemented with great success by mobile telephone
companies, they may still have an important role to play in
scaling up off-grid energy services for billions of people
who lack access to electricity. More research is needed to
assess the importance of flexible payments in attracting
reliable low-income customers.

It has been more than two decades since
the widespread initiation of global power sector reforms and
restructuring. However, empirical evidence on the intended
microeconomic, macroeconomic, and quality-related impacts of
reforms across developing countries is lacking. This paper
comprehensively reviews the empirical and theoretical
literature on the linkages between power sector reforms,
economic and technical efficiency, and poverty reduction.
The review finds that the extent of power sector reforms has
varied across developing countries in terms of changes in
market structures, the role of the state, and the regulation
of the sector. Overall, the reforms have improved the
efficiency and productivity in the sector among many
reforming countries. However, the efficiency gains have not
always reached the end consumers because of the inability of
sector regulators and inadequate regulatory frameworks.
Reforms alleviate poverty and promote the welfare of the
poor only when the poor have access to electricity. From a
policy-making perspective...

The World Bank Group has committed to
achieving universal access to electricity by 2030 under the
Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative. This is a
daunting challenge: more than 1 billion people do not have
access, and another 1 billion have chronically inadequate or
unreliable service. Most of those without access are poor,
and the largest share is in Sub-Saharan Africa. Achieving
universal access within 15 years for the low-access
countries (those with under 50 percent coverage) requires a
quantum leap from their present pace of 1.6 million
connections per year to 14.6 million per year until 2030.
The investment needed would be about $37 billion per year,
including erasing generation deficits and meeting demand
from economic growth. By comparison, in recent years,
low-access countries received an average of $3.6 billion per
year for their electricity sectors from public and private
sources, including $1.5 billion per year from the World Bank
Group. Development outcomes of the Bank Group’s assistance
were generally favorable compared with other infrastructure
sectors. However...

This knowledge note is the second of
three case studies that concerns scaling up access to
electricity in Africa, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. Since its
inception in 2003, Bangladesh's solar home system
program has installed about three million electrification
systems in rural households, two-thirds of them in the last
three years. The program is the most dynamic off-grid
electrification program in the world, benefitting more than
15 million people and contributing about 130 MW in renewable
energy generation capacity. The case study for Bangladesh is
interesting, because off-grid electrification is crucial to
reaching universal access. Achieving universal access to
modern energy services is one of the three complementary
objectives of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL)
initiative. Bangladesh's rural electrification program
was initiated in 1977 with the creation of the Rural
Electrification Board (REB). Yet, it was estimated that at
the prevailing pace of grid electrification, Bangladesh was
going to take 50 years to reach universal access. By 2002...

This knowledge note is the third of
three case studies that concerns scaling up access to
electricity in Africa, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. Rwanda s
rapid achievements in expanding access to electricity after
2009 were made possible by one of the first applications of
a sector-wide approach (SWAp) in the electricity sector. The
World Bank played a pivotal role in the operationalization
of the SWAp, first by assisting in the formulation of an
investment prospectus that laid the groundwork for
technical, financial, and implementation planning. The
Rwandan experience is instructive for countries considering
the adoption of a similar approach, particularly those
starting from a low base. Rwanda's experience with
electrification is an interesting case of how access to
electricity can be quickly scaled up despite deficits in
infrastructure and institutional capacity. In all, the SWAp
in Rwanda delivered tremendous improvements in electricity
access over a relatively short period of time. Although
challenges remain...

The Government of Kenya adopted in 2004
an Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment
Creation (ERSWEC), which recognizes three main pillars for
economy recovery namely: (i) strengthening economic growth;
(ii) enhancing equity and reducing poverty; and (iii)
improving governance. The ERSWEC reiterates that the
achievement of the three pillars is dependent on adequate
and reliable access to least-cost energy. Since agriculture
continues to be the mainstay of Kenya's economy,
ensuring adequate access to electricity in rural areas is an
important component to achieving the objectives of the
ERSWEC. This is confirmed by investigations made by this
study regarding specific energy needs for the different
sectors of productive and social activities in the rural
areas, for agriculture, livestock, fishery, tea and coffee
cooperatives, telecommunications, water pumping and health
and education services.The Government of Kenya has adopted a
National Energy formulated in the Sessional Paper No 4 of
2004 consistent with the ERSWEC...

The objective of this paper is to shed
some light on the benefits of improved access to electricity
supply, specifically the benefits referred to as,
'consumer's surplus', which is the difference
between what customers are willing to pay for the utilities
associated with electricity access and the price that they
actually pay. The paper leads to several important policy
messages for the preparation of investments aiming to
increase energy access in developing countries: consumer
surplus as the measure for estimating benefits of enlarged
access by households to public electricity supply needs to
be used with caution; make sure that benefits of increased
access to electricity are measured both in terms of gains in
consumer surplus and gains in real income from
electrification; plan electricity access expansion taking
into account that reinforced electricity access may increase
consumption of electricity modestly; plan electrification
along with accompanying measures to ease access to
electricity consuming appliances; and strengthen public data
on energy consumption. The paper leads to specific
conclusions relative to: the methodology to calculate
benefits of increased electricity access; demand patterns
for lighting purposes; demand patterns for entertainment and
information purposes...

Rwanda is one of the first countries to
use a Sector Wide-Approach (SWAp) in the energy sector to
increase access to electricity. The SWAp emerged in the
1990s as an alternative to traditional development aid. The
SWAp-based on a country-led, results-focused
framework-encourages engagement across all sector
stakeholders to ensure that investments work together to
contribute to desired outcomes. With the assistance of
energy sector management assistance program's Africa
Renewable Energy Access (AFREA) program. This report
provides a number of key lessons realized from the Rwanda
energy SWAp for development partners and governments
considering using such an approach. Country and government
ownership and leadership is essential for efficient program
planning and implementation, as is an alignment with
national priorities and policies. In 2009, Rwanda initiated

increasing access to electricity from 6 percent of the
population to 16 percent over a five-year period...

This report summarizes the Bolivian
power sector reform experience from 1993 until the end of
1999. The reform of Bolivia's electric sector is
considered one of the most successful to date. Bolivia opted
for both vertical and horizontal separation. Large power
company generations units were capitalized; transmission
grid and distribution were privatized. Since the
capitalization or privatization, there has been a dramatic
expansion in generation capacity, and distribution networks
are also growing well. However, access to electricity
remains limited. The main issues in the sector are now a)
privatizing the smaller systems, and b) expanding access in
the under-served rural areas. A review will be essential
after a few years of implementation. The effect of power
sector reform on poverty alleviation will need to be
assessed at that point.

The purpose of the current flagship
report is to address energy access and related developmental
issues in East Asia Pacific (EAP) that so far have received
less attention compared to the macro energy issues of
climate change and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. EAP countries have two steep paths to climb to
achieve universal access to modern energy: electricity and
modern cooking solutions. Approximately 170 million people,
or 34 million households, in EAP countries do not have
electricity connections in their homes. This number is
equivalent to approximately 9 percent of the Region's
total population, and 30 percent of the Region's
population excluding China. Moreover, approximately 6 times
that number, or over 1 billion people, still lack access to
modern cooking solutions. In addition, EAP is exceeded by
only Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia in the number of
people who lack access to electricity. However, access to
both electricity and modern cooking solutions is essential
to address the enduring impacts of poverty and to move the
poor onto a rising development trajectory. The link between

issues, options, and good practices. While appropriate
regulations are not all that is needed to spur mini-grid
development, is usually one of the first obstacles that
potential developers face and therefore the most urgent
issue for governments. The authors draw on a case study of
Tanzania, a pioneer in setting an enabling and light-handed
regulatory framework for mini-grids. Given the urgency of
leveraging private sector investments for reaching the
universal access targets of the international sustainable

regulatory issues relevant to private sector entrepreneurs
and investors. Mini-grid entrepreneurs need to know that
their investment of time and money will have a reasonable
chance not just of being repaid but also of returning a
profit. A clear and credible regulatory framework that makes
and enforces fair and efficient decisions in a timely manner
helps entrepreneurs make informed investment decisions. The
