TA 4054-INO: Power Welfare Scheme (Piggybacked with Loan 1982)

Purpose

The TA aims to design and implement a power welfare scheme (PWS) for low-income rural households in the outer islands of Indonesia. The project has potential benefits for the poor, particularly in the rural areas, and low-income households can expect significant long-term impacts from extension of power supply. The PWS will be designed and implemented to defer the cost of electricity supply and minimize initial expenses, allowing household income to rise in a reasonable level. As a pilot scheme, a revolving fund will be established to benefit 10,000 poor households.
