The evidence is clear that access to electricity has marked welfare improvements. There are 260 million rural households in the
developing world without access to electricity. A significant portion of this population resides in small or dispersed communities or
far from the national grid. Over the course of the past 12 years, the World Bank has supported a number of projects that provide
electricity to such communities using approaches that are independent of a national or regional grid (off-grid). Experience from
these projects offer guidance on designing sustainable off-grid electrification projects to serve dispersed and poorer communities
using technology options that have attained commercial maturity over the past 15–20 years.
