Transmission
Distribution
Insufficient connection to areas of potential demand (e.g., mills,
processing plants) hinders NESCO's ability to profit from additional
generating capacity
• Poor maintenance of existing plants due to inadequate funding for
skilled manpower recruitment

.
Unclear profitability and data on mini-grid success limits private
sector investment in potential generating sites (e.g., additional
hydropower)
Large number of transmission projects started simultaneously and
then stopped due to change in federal government priorities
Transmission lines built not connected, preventing access to end
markets
Electricity theft due to infrastructure vandalism (e.g., power lines)
reduces transmitted energy and minimizes revenue
Lack of NESCO investment to leverage status as an integrated utility
NESCO's high connection costs limits broader access to grid
Tariff caps limit profitability in rural areas due to increased costs of
transmission and distribution, limiting investment
Lack of information on mini-grid investment return limits donor and
investor interest in off-grid areas
