Abstract: About 84% of the population in Niger live in rural areas and only about 8% of them have access to electricity. For rural population, renewable energy use is an expensive option. This paper seeks to answer the question: Can collaborative consumption and community ownership increase the willingness to pay for the electricity generated through solar photovoltaics (PV) systems among the villagers of a rural area in Niger?
