 Yet RLEOs also face higher barriers to success than peers in the off-grid energy sector, from limited access to finance and partnerships to the highly limited ability to pay of their customers. Refugees also face challenges in navigating local regulatory requirements around establishing a business, and they may face additional restrictions tied to their refugee status. To overcome these barriers and empower RLEOs will require sustained and holistic support from a wide range of partners.

 == Funding Opportunities for RLEOs ==
 Finding reliable sources of funding needed to realize their plans and grow their operations is a major barrier for displaced entrepreneurs. In particular, locally owned organizations providing market-based energy in displacement settings need adequate start-up grant funding, patient impact financing, and tailored technical assistance to develop into healthy and sustainable businesses grounded in community needs. Because they provide services to communities with limited incomes, access to end-user subsidy programmed can also play a crucial role in helping these organizations to bridge the energy access affordability gap.
