Luz en Casa Programme

The LUZ EN CASA Programme has proved that rural

electrification with Solar Home Systems (SHS) can

be economically sustainable and affordable to the

very poor people.

The facts

- AMP, as a public provider of electricity, supplies a basic electricity serviceto almost 4,000 households in poverty and extreme poverty, by means of

solar home systems, with a fee-for-service model.

- By the end of 2013, the breakeven point was reached.

- The benefited families pay S/.10 (around USD 3.5) monthly. Previously

they were spending S/.15 (50% more) to buy candles, kerosene, charge the

mobile,…

- The default on payment is lower than 1%. Almost all pay.

- Unique private initiative of rural electrification with SHS in Peru. Morethan 6 year-experienced and operating in a sustainable and affordableway.

FROM CANDLES TO LIGHT:THE

CONSEQUENTIAL OUTCOMES OF

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION

ACCIONA Microenergia

November 2014 - 10 - ACCIONA Microenergia Peru

Families save in candles, batteries, and firewood (there is no differences in expenditures of charcoal, cooking gas, or fuel).

These savings account for about S/.23.8 (US$8.5) per month

while the monthly charge for the panel is S/.10 (US$3.6) per

month.Savings cover the monthly cost

of the solar panels

ARE THERE ANY OTHER BENEFITS TO USING THE PANELS?

Luz en Casa: Impact Evaluation

� About 80.8% of the beneficiaries of the project are poor and live in rural areas in the Departamento de Cajamarca.

� 98.3% of the beneficiaries could be considered as vulnerable to poverty.

� Households use their solar panel mainly for lighting� Only a fraction of households use the system to charge their

cellphones (19%), watch TV (5%) and connect their radios (4%).� The power of the panel is not large enough to support large

applicances.

� More women weave and spend more time weaving for their families.

� More men read, but the time they spend reading is not statistically different.

� The proportion of men (97%) and women (95%) who engage in productive activities is the same; but women with solar panels engage less time in agricultural activities and animal care (-1h 39min), and engage in a larger proportion (+2.9 %) businesses in their home

These changes have impacted children, too:

� Children in households with solar panels spent more time doing homework and this has translated in more years of schooling for children going to elementary school.

� More homework has also translated in higher enrollment rates for children going to high school.
