One thing the guys mentioned was how many of these people have never had electric service. One dude in the village might have a car battery and charge money to charge their phones for them. So imagine the risk when starting a power company when your potential customers have very few uses for the power. Very risky but high possible return as well. 

Imagine not have a refrigerator, lights, and other appliances. It is hard for us to imagine these things in the west. We take so much for granted.

Yup I talked to guy at a construction conference who worked in South Africa and he shared how they were building all these green microgrids. The western  laptop class thinks it solves the burning of fuel thus lowering carbon emissions but the grids were very unreliable. Each grid is designed differently making operation and maintenance a nightmare.
