Another important economic aspect to be considered is whether or not the rural community that is receiving electricity has the cash flow available to fund an electrification project. In most rural villages, there is a very limited amount of cash available and there are few, if any, sources of cash coming into the community. Rural electrification can be in a drain if the village has already limited cash supply because the village is paying outside of the community for the use of electricity or for the equipment to generate their own. Thus a rural electrification project will have a negative economic impact on the community unless the community has adequate cash on hand and cash flowing in as well as out.
