-One way to make the connection to the grid more affordable is to provide people with the necessary microcredit to pay for the cost of connection. When utilities grant concessional loans to customers the pace of connection generally increases. Utilities normaly use two to five-year loans, either with low interests or interest-free. Unfortunately, the concession of those loans consume considerable amounts of working capital, which needed to be backboned by other sources.
