title = "Criteria for sustainable operation of off-grid renewable energy services",
abstract = "In a developing country context off-grid renewable energy (RE) seems to offer great promise. Nevertheless, experience with off-grid systems developed to date suggests that their sustainability is questionable. As a component of a PhD thesis at Charles Sturt University, the research reported in this paper examines problems encountered with such systems and develops criteria that will ensure the sustainable operation of off-grid renewable energy services. It achieves this by analysing off-grid systems such as micro-hydro plants constructed in Nepal, and reviewing various aspects of their operation.",
