Universalizing and accelerating electricity access over the next decade through Public Service Delegation (PSD)

Widely used in the water sector, which is also unprofitable in contexts similar to those prevailing in regions not yet electrified, the Public Service Delegation (PSD) offers a solid regulatory and financial framework that balances Government needs on one side, and greater visibility for private sector operators on the other. It can be applied to all three electrification modes: grid extension, mini-grids, stand-alone PV systems, and is designed to be financially viable.
