“…This metric relates household appliances usage to a specific tier of energy access as defined in Table 2. A few studies have already used the metric as a basis for models for household energy access, gaining both case-specific (Fuso Nerini, et al, 2015), and generalizable conclusions (Fuso Nerini, et al, 2016).…”

“…This is why the gap in the access to modern energy services has been described as one of the limitations to achieve a sustainable socio-economic development. And by this means important efforts are dedicated all over the world to improve energy access to those who still do not have such services available or have them with limited quality [11].…”

Abstract-Renewable energy is fundamental for economic growth and sustainable development. To be generated, distributed and used renewable energy requires proper infrastructure. Venezuela is a country with important energy resources, mainly in hydropower, but despite the huge resources invested in the improvement of its infrastructure, the delays with projects' completion as well as the frequent blackouts show that there is a structural problem that hinders the attainment of the Energy for All Global Goals. This article presents an overview of the Venezuelan renewable energy potential, its importance to meet sustainability goals, some construction problems affecting this sector and the situation of renewable infrastructure in construction in the country. The conclusions highlight a complex problem whose solution requires deep changes in the Venezuelan energy policies and strategies.Keywords Abstract-Renewable energy is fundamental for economic growth and sustainable development.

“…Rural electrification costs depend on various factors including population density, local energy resources, the distance from the closest grid, and the level and quality of the energy access [91]. Off-grid PV systems are indeed a cost-effective solution at Chilean locations where the grid expansion is not viable due to geographical conditions or at locations with a high degree of dispersion of the local population [81].…”

Sustainability of rural electrification programs based on off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems in Chile

Background: Mainly based on expanding the grid, Chile has reached an impressive electrification rate. However, due to unviable grid expansion to islands and remote areas of the country, the government started implementing off-grid electrification programs. In this paper, we assess the sustainability of rural electrification efforts in Chile paying special attention to off-grid photovoltaic (PV) programs.
