Abstract

The essential components to ensure the long-term sustainability of community owned and operated rural energy systems are interconnected and interdependent. They include robust system design and quality hardware; proper operation, maintenance and repair; and, perhaps of greater importance, the elements of good governance and administration. Governance, broadly defined as the set of elements for an effective means of public management, significantly influences the sustainability of community owned and operated energy systems. The objective of this paper is to focus on the role of governance in ensuring/enabling sustainability as related to renewable energy applications in rural off-grid locations.1 An examination of the elements of governance impacting sustainability has been conducted by a Sandia National Laboratories2 team through assessments of community owned and operated systems, and involvement in community development projects. Initial results from the assessments of communities in the Mexican states of Quintana Roo, Sonora, and Veracruz, and communities in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Peru show that when any one of the elements of sustainability is weak or non-existent, the ability of the energy system to provide electricity is at risk for failure.
