Role of renewable energy in the development and electrification of remote and rural areas
Summary. Renewable energy resources are widely distributed globally and can effectively electrify remote rural areas despite being dilute and variable. Small amounts of renewable energy create substantial development benefits in these regions, justifying higher costs. Local renewable resource utilization generates employment and reduces rural-to-urban migration.
