closed

The objective of the National Sustainable Electrification and Renewable Energy Program (PNESER) is to support the efforts of the Nicaraguan government to reduce poverty by promoting access by a significant portion of the population to efficient, sustainable electricity service, while supporting creation of the conditions to move forward on a change of the energy mix that contributes to better conditions for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. PNESER will support seven components: (i) rural electrification by network extension; (ii) normalization of service in settlements; (iii) expansion in isolated areas with renewable energy; (iv) preinvestment and studies for generation projects with renewable energy; (v) energy efficiency programs; (vi) strengthening the transmission system in rural areas; and (vii) sustainability of ENEL isolated systems.
