RASLRES’s main aim is to increase the use and uptake of locally produced renewable bio-energy solutions in rural areas in the NPP region. The RALRES pilot models will use different technologies and biomass fuels to support locally managed – and owned – supply systems and business models for producing and using renewable energy. This will be achieved with the development and implementation of ‘MSMs’ (targeted market stimulation models) for rural renewable energy biofuels.
During the pilots, the MSMs will be benchtested with NPP renewable energy users, providers and businesses. A final MSM model will then be developed to provide local and national authorities with a lower-risk method for establishing economically viable renewable energy businesses within and outside the NPP region.
