Provision of electric to the rural inhabitants of developing countries is a prerequisiti in any regional planning which seeks to improve rural quality of life and production levels. Providing electricity to regions located away from the urban centres and having dispersed population with very little ability to pay is one of the most difficult requirements to meet. Under these conditions, numerous rural electrification programmes carried out over the last decaden by extending networks from the closest urban centers have very poor results.
