Renewable Energy for Rural Sustainability in Developing Countries
Summary. Renewable energy technologies offer significant benefits for rural sustainability in developing countries, but their actual performance falls short of expectations. This paper identifies technological, economic, and institutional barriers to success, but argues that previous analyses have overlooked household perspectives and stakeholder needs. Survey findings reveal gaps between installed renewable energy technology capabilities and user satisfaction in remote communities.
