OBA in Senegal : Designing Technology-Neutral Concessions for Rural Electrification
The government of Senegal has made rural
electrification a priority, recognizing its importance in
reducing poverty and redressing development imbalances. A
new program that combines output-based aid (OBA) subsidies
with technology neutral competitive bidding is seen as more
promising. This program has the potential to align private
incentives with public sector objectives of maximizing the
number of rural households served under a sustainable
commercial scheme. This newsletter touches on the these OBA
subsidies and discusses how to bridge the rural-urban energy
divide via public-private partnerships, the new rural
electrification strategy, the new tariff schedule, the OBA
subsidy design, the bidding process, and funding sources.
The newsletter also gives an update on current results and
what the next recommended steps are.
