    About this ebook

    Mongolia is a vast landlocked country with a relatively small population. Given the immense logistical and climatic challenges, rural electrification was largely undeveloped until the Government launched the National 100,000 Solar Ger Electrification Program in 1999. The World Bank-assisted Renewable Energy and Rural Electricity Access Project (REAP) was conceived in 2006 to help revitalize the Government’s ambitious initiative which had been showing signs of stagnation after delivering over 30,000 portable photovoltaic solar home systems (SHS).

    At its conclusion in 2012, over 67,000 SHS had been delivered to herder households country-wide and the goal of electrifying 100,000 gers under the Government’s Program was successfully met. This translates to an overall coverage of about half a million people which corresponds to about two thirds of the nomad population and one sixth of Mongolia’s total population. The Program was very successful in increasing national energy access, which is now over 90 percent compared to a pre-program level of 67 percent mainly due to the Ger Electrification Program.

    Upon completion of REAP, two beneficiary surveys were conducted to assess the developmental impacts of the delivery of solar-powered electricity services on the herder households. This report summarizes the survey findings, including use and sustainability of SHSs, immediate impacts of changing energy patterns and impacts on quality of life and development.
