Agency assisted with the electrification of
another Seven (7) major villages
• 1994 GOB & BPC took over (14 villages per
annum)
![Page 14: Masego Kealotswe (Botswana Power Corporation - BPC) …siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTAFRREGTOPENERGY/Resources/717305... · BOTSWANA –ROLE OF WOMEN IN GRID INTENSIFICATION Presented](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040120/5e796c4b1c22e66282599468/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
GRID ELECTRIFICATION
• BPC contributes 40% & GOB 60% to finance
projects at & above 6% IRR
• GOB finances projects below 6% IRR
• BPC responsible for recommendations and
implementation.
• GOB advances rural customers for individual
connections through Rural Collective
Schemes.

2008 (new plan to upgrade to three phase)
• To date there were 904 connected households in the 5
villages
• Businesses and schools require upgrade as their
capacity increases

CHALLENGES
•High capital costs vs. low investment
•Electrified villages are below IRR of 6% set as a
condition for electrification
•Sparsely populated villages makes electrification
expensive
•High connection costs
•Average of US$1000.00
•Inappropriate technology
•Opportunity to utilise SWER not fully explored
•Low consumption rates
![Page 24: Masego Kealotswe (Botswana Power Corporation - BPC) …siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTAFRREGTOPENERGY/Resources/717305... · BOTSWANA –ROLE OF WOMEN IN GRID INTENSIFICATION Presented](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040120/5e796c4b1c22e66282599468/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GENDER ISSUES IN ENERGY
SECTOR
•Most rural households are dependant on
fuelwood
•Women collect on head-loads, men collect on
wheel-burrows or donkey carts
•Majority of rural households are female
headed
•Households use multiple fuels (wood, LPG,
paraffin, candles)
•Electricity is used by 10% of households –
mostly male-headed
![Page 25: Masego Kealotswe (Botswana Power Corporation - BPC) …siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTAFRREGTOPENERGY/Resources/717305... · BOTSWANA –ROLE OF WOMEN IN GRID INTENSIFICATION Presented](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040120/5e796c4b1c22e66282599468/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
GENDER ISSUES IN ELECTRICITY
•Policy influence by Government – Draft Energy
Policy included a Gender objective
•Gender mainstreaming in electricity projects –
appropriate strategy to market electrification
•Gender mainstreaming objective – ‘To ensure
that electricity needs of both men and women are
included in planning and implementation of the
rural electrification programme’
![Page 26: Masego Kealotswe (Botswana Power Corporation - BPC) …siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTAFRREGTOPENERGY/Resources/717305... · BOTSWANA –ROLE OF WOMEN IN GRID INTENSIFICATION Presented](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040120/5e796c4b1c22e66282599468/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN
INVOLVEMENT IN GRID INTENSIFICATION
•Women constitute over two thirds of informal
sector businesses – private households, hotels,
restaurants, wholesale
•Women participate at the same level as men in
village development decisions at community
gatherings
•Girls constitute 70% at Tertiary schools –
Encouraged to engage in electricity careers
![Page 27: Masego Kealotswe (Botswana Power Corporation - BPC) …siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTAFRREGTOPENERGY/Resources/717305... · BOTSWANA –ROLE OF WOMEN IN GRID INTENSIFICATION Presented](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040120/5e796c4b1c22e66282599468/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HOW DOES BPC INVOLVE WOMEN?
•Collaborating with Government on reducing
connection costs for increased access by female-headed
households – maybe use SWER etc.
•Implementing agency for Gender mainstreaming
project in rural electrification – Supported by
ENERGIA (establishing specific male and female
electricity needs and requirements in a household)
•Participating in the drafting and finalisation of the
National Energy Policy – to ensure all electricity issues
are addressed.
