NICARAGUA
Power
(N) Off-Grid Rural Electrification (PERZA): The objective of the project
is to provide selected rural sites with sustainable electricity services
and the associated social and economic benefits. This would be
accomplished by assisting the government in designing and implementing its
national rural electrification strategy; deploying innovative
public/private off-grid electricity delivery mechanisms in several pilot
sites for later national replication; and demonstrating in the pilot areas
the potential of sustainable targeted rural micro-finance and business
development services to enhance significantly the development impact of
rural electrification. Negotiations are tentatively scheduled for 20
January 2003. Environmental Assessment Category B. US$ 5.6/4.0 (IDA/GEF).
Consultants will be required for project preparation. National Energy
Commission, PO Box CJ-159, Complejo de Cooperacion Externa, Managua, Nicaragua
