Parts of Mexico still do not have access to electricity, in 2006 97% of the population had access to electricity, but still 4 million people had no access. Therefore a program is developed, together with the World Bank, to provide these rural areas with electricity from renewable resources. With this program they want to reach 2,500 rural communities. The Mexican government also wants to improve the electricity grid, because at the moment its capacity is insufficient, leading to energy losses.
