可再生能源系统已被推广用于农村电气化，作为对社区日益增长的能源需求的回答，同时满足环境和资源短缺问题。然而，这些离网系统在可持续性方面面临着一些挑战，因为项目的接受者和用户在技术和财政上都很薄弱。然而，人们对项目的技术和经济方面如何与社会方面适当配合以促进可持续性的了解还不够详细。本文旨在通过对菲律宾一个集中式离网太阳能发电厂的案例研究，进一步了解使用可再生能源的农村电气化项目的挑战和社会影响。本研究使用多重对应分析（MCA）来识别用户的基本属性，这些属性可以解释用户的用电行为。由于财政和能力方面的挑战，社区合作社难以长期维持该设施。在发展可再生能源项目时，处理技术、经济和社会方面的整体方法可促进可持续性。
Renewable energy systems (RESs) have been promoted for rural electrification as an answer to the growing energy needs of communities while simultaneously satisfying environmental and resource scarcity problems. These off-grid systems however have several challenges in the perspective of sustainability due to the technically and financially weak recipients and users of the projects. There is still, however, less detailed understanding how the technical and economic aspects of the projects can properly match the social aspects to promote sustainability. This paper aimed to further understand the challenges and social impacts of rural electrification projects using RES through a case study of a centralized off-grid solar plant in the Philippines. The study used multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) to identify essential user attributes which explain the users’ electricity consumption behaviors. The community cooperative had difficulties maintaining the facility in the long term due to financial and capacity related challenges. A holistic approach dealing with the technical, economic and social aspects in developing RES projects promote sustainability.
