Abstract
⺠We model and assess DDG options for rural electrification in South Asia. ⺠Particularly, when demand is low, off-grid & mini-grid are least cost options for electrification. ⺠DDG options can be 3-4 times cheaper than extending a central grid. ⺠Kerosene lighting is up to 6 times as expensive as electric lighting. ⺠If electricity replaces kerosene for lighting, large subsidy savings can be realized.
