ENERGY SAFETY NETS A GUIDE FOR POLICYMAKERS
Summary
The guide outlines a five-stage process map for building energy safety nets: Threshold, Planning, Resources, Implementation, and Evaluation. It guides policymakers through identifying eligible populations, selecting delivery mechanisms for electricity or clean cooking (covering both capital costs and ongoing consumption), determining necessary financial and administrative resources, establishing government partnerships for deployment, and creating monitoring plans to ensure program sustainability.
Key insights
- The process for building an energy safety net consists of five distinct stages: Threshold, Planning, Resources, Implementation, and Evaluation.
- Energy safety net support can be targeted toward either capital costs for connections or ongoing consumption costs for electricity or clean cooking access.
- Delivery mechanisms for connection support include fee waivers, in-kind grants, cash grants, and concessionary credit, while consumption support includes lifeline tariffs, reduced prices, in-kind grants, and cash transfers.
