Rethinking off-grid rural electrification in the Philippines
Summary. The Philippines shifted its off-grid rural electrification program toward private-sector leadership, offering subsidies to attract businesses into remote areas. This approach reduced the program from a comprehensive rural development strategy to a narrow focus on household lighting, driven by government targets. The paper argues for rethinking electricity delivery to support broader community development rather than just meeting electrification metrics.
