The primary beneficiaries of the Vanuatu Rural Electrification Project (VREP) are households, aid posts and community halls in rural off-grids areas that are located beyond the economic grid extension areas, as well as those that are too dispersed across the off-grid areas to be considered in future projects for isolated micro or mini-grid configurations.
The Project’s first phase targets 17,500 households, 230 aid posts and 2,000 not-for-profit community halls unable to access affordable, safe and healthy electricity and located in dispersed off-grid areas. The second phase will reach 37 public institutions and 8,950 households. The Project was signed in 2014 and is now to be completed in 2020. |
