REFC's core function is to provide supplemental loans to ECs in order for them to achieve their goals of providing electric service that is adequate, dependable and of high quality. ECs therefore, must present projects for REFC funding which is consonant to this objective. The main justification for such projects would be centered on one principle: to generate additional revenue. This can be done through projects that will result into better service reliability, capacity build-up and improved efficiency through the reduction of system losses and optimal utilization of distribution line equipment.
Consultations with the ECs facilitated the establishment of a priority listing of projects that are in accordance with this objective.
