eC2: Developing a Pay-as-you-Go Solar Policy and Regulatory Handbook for Governments (Phase 1 of 3)

Posted on by

As a business model which provides electricity and financing leveraging mobile technology, PAYG is affected by regulations in the electricity, finance, import, data protection, and telecom sectors.

The phase 1 objective is to develop an initial toolkit.
