Projects/Resco manager

RESCO Manager is a web based application designed to become an open source standard for managing the technical, financial and logistics aspects of renewable energy service companies (RESCOs).

RESCOs (Renewable Energy Service Companies) have been very successful in the expansion of rural electrification worldwide because: Low income rural households receive electricity without having to invest in renewable energy equipment, something that they would not normally be able to afford of the high initial cost. Equipment is properly maintained and components replaced by the RESCO, making sure that the service is not interrupted, Equipment is owned by an organisation that directly or indirectly represents the users (beneficiaries of the funding). This can be (a) a Government incorporated organisation (Kiribati or RMI), (b) a Government department (Fiji) or (c) an organisation directly representing users (Tonga). As a result of all this, donors are prepared to contribute with funding to the RESCO concept because it makes their aid (1) effective, (2) sustainable and (3)accountable.
