the challenge remains as to whether or not some of<br />

the communities where off-grid projects are<br />

sites are located in areas where the road<br />

network is bad.<br />

Lack of connectivity to the national grid: Most of<br />

be consumed by the surrounding communities, who<br />

may not have the capacity to absorb all the power.<br />
