EC-G1001 : Rural Electrification with Renewable Energies in Isolated Areas of Ecuador

The GEF proposed project aims to increase the impact of the FERUM 2011 program, throughout the financing projects of rural electrification in isolated areas to the electrical network. These projects to be implemented in remote regions with low-electrical power coverage will benefit to vulnerable communities with low incomes that in today¿s world only have access to polluting and inefficient energy systems (kerosene, diesel, candles, etc.). In more accurate terms, this project is in line with the objectives 3 of Climate Change (i) To promote the increased capacity installed of unconventional renewable energies (ERNC) in order to expand the access of energy to isolated populations with low-income (ii) To support the increased of capacities for the management of local or community projects decentralized energy generation.
