Developing countries will require substantial investments in order to meet the increasing demand for energy services and to develop and transport the energy supply, as well as to develop indigenous energy resources (bioenergy), fossil fuels and abundantly available renewable sources of energy. Capital requirements of this scale can only be met by enhancing the mobilization of financing from national private and public sources, including end-users in some cases (in cash or in kind); increased access to international funding; foreign-direct investment; and the expansion of bilateral and multilateral assistance programs. Taking into account the critical socio-economic situation in many developing countries, important prerequisite issues concerning sustainable development and use of renewable energy sources sufficiently available in rural areas, electricity generation from a Hybrid for basic purposes of life has been proposed.
