  • Increase of load factor through PEU and corresponding increase of the economic viability of the system; and
  • Three examples of systems promoting productive end use in different countries such as Indonesia, Myanmar and Nepal. Presentation of the pros and cons of electrifying “existing activities” versus “new businesses”
