BUSINESS MODEL
FRES strives to fulfil the basic electricity needs of one
million people in rural areas of developing countries by 2015.
To accomplish this, FRES will establish a number of new,
commercial electricity companies in developing countries, over
the next few years.
FRES will concentrate on countries that are prepared to agree in
advance about the position of the company to be set up
(including possible tax benefits and subsidies). Through an
adoption/sponsoring concept and with the help of customers of
electricity companies in the Netherlands or elsewhere, FRES will
try to keep the price of the energy services at an acceptable
level. Investors are being sought for the proposed new
companies. Additionally, subsidies will be needed to enable new
companies to start up and sustain themselves.
Based on, among other things, the experiences in Mali and South
Africa, Rob Costermans, FRES adviser and former bank director,
has developed a FRES standard formula, which is able to roll out
rapidly. For more information about this standard formula, pleae
contact info@fres.nl.
This activity is made possible with financial support from
HIVOS.
