7 The Mwenga Development Impact Household Income Un-electrified Areas Electrified Areas (3-4 Years) Approx 20% of electrified households interviewed were actively involved with a form of services industry, compared to 4% in un-electrified areas. Approx 10% of electrified households interviewed were involved with agri processsing, compared to 1% in un electrified areas. The electrified areas typically have a much broader diversity of occupations (30% versus 10%)

8 The Mwenga Development Impact Household expenditure Un-electrified Areas Electrified Areas (3-4 Years on) Only 2% of the average household expenditure is made on electricity when connected The poorer households who cannot afford the connection fee (and the associated wiring of the house, and the related appliances) typically pay significantly more for their energy needs each month using traditional energy sources.

9 The Mwenga Development Impact Productive Use of Electricity Commercial customers typically use many times more electricity that domestic customers, and are the drivers of economic growth within the surrounding communities. We have recently begun a productive use of electricity exercise in conjunction with an NGO partner to further stimulate growth in this sector Energy literacy is a significant barrier that needs a very structured marketing engagement process to overcome
