Flexicurity for Investment Reimbursement of Micro Renewable Electric Energy Systems
Bernard Van Acker, Cedric Van Acker, Vincent Van Acker · 2012
Even the most affordable renewable energy installation still needs an investment that is significant for local people, so that a co-financing party is often indispensable. This article investigates through field research in Tanzania and a technology survey, whether technology could be able to support such investment schemes. It would secure reimbursements in the same flexible and secure way people now pay for mobile communication services, thereby applying the success factors of mobile communications in Africa to micro renewable electric energy systems. Further areas for investigation are identified.
