Abstract
A study was carried out by EnDev Ethiopia in cooperation with Financial Systems Development (FSD) component. In Ethiopia, EnDev is supporting the development of an enabling environment for off-grid renewable energy and energy efficiency investments.
Financial instruments, such as Pay-as-you-Go (PAYGO), are key components for accelerating the adoption of off-grid energy technologies, as they can increase end-user’s ability to access them. Considering its encouraging track record in Sub-Saharan Africa, PAYGO has a large potential to facilitate the uptake of off-grid solar systems in Ethiopia as well.
This scoping study provides a comprehensive overview of the PAYGO sector for Energy Access in Ethiopia, including the status-quo of the supply, demand and regulatory environment; map of the main stakeholders; a country comparison with other African countries where PAYGO has been successfully implemented; and areas of intervention for Financial System Development .URL
