This newsletter looks at how Bolivia is
implementing an innovative public-private approach to
increase rural electricity access to extremely remote areas
via Solar Home Systems (SHS) and how Novel Medium-term
Service Contracts (MSCs) balance the Government's wish
for sustainable service and maximum control with
providers' aim for minimal risk exposure. The
newsletter also provides information on the overall success
of the MSC approach to bidding out SHS services, and how it
can only be judged at a later stage, as installations have
only just begun. In conclusion, the successful tender award
and the efficiency gains achieved show that this new model
merits closer analysis and the current administration has
taken the underlying public-private approach as a
cornerstone of its new universal access policy for the
electricity sector.
