This programme focused on rural electrification planning across 17 districts, implemented through grid extension and, where suitable, local grids supported by local generation such as mini and micro hydel schemes, and solar systems where required. The work included socio economic data collection from villages and household surveys in electrified and non-electrified areas to assess expected impact of electrification.

The project components included over 400 kilometres of 33 kV and 11 kV lines, a total distribution transformer capacity of about 11 MVA, and low-tension line length of about 400 kilometres. The assignment commenced in June 1998 and was planned for completion by June 1999, with survey completion and network and village finalisation achieved during the assignment period.
