The research we propose will address the challenge of thermal energy service delivery in rural areas of developing countries, where it is projected that more than 2.6 billion people could remain without service in 2030. The research will study the existing experience in providing thermal energy for cooking, space heating and sanitation using different approaches. The research will study a particular business model called "fee-for-service" (where users pay for the energy service delivered) and different energy delivery options to provide thermal energy in rural places. The fee-for service approach relies on the delivery of a service by a private provider against a small monthly fee. The private provider makes the investment and the end-users can benefit of a service without having to pay large sum up-front. This is of particular importance in rural areas where people cannot afford to pay for a Solar Water Heater. The fee-for-service approach has been quite successfully used for the dissemination of Solar Home Systems (and also LPG) in a number of African countries. This research will build the conditions to replicate this to the sector of thermal energy services. This research will study applicable energy conversion and end-use application technologies, analyse institutional arrangements, develop business and enterprise models which needs to be implemented to promote thermal energy services in rural areas developing countries The research will analyse the respective role of government and private partners to form Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) models for energy services like thermal energy in rural areas. It will study innovative financing models that are relevant to the issue. All these components are linked and contribute to the sustainability of the model. Based on these extensive research the description of a sustainable model for thermal energy services will be developed as a generic Public-Private-Partnership model. Scholarly publications and reports will be written on the research findings to address the research gap in this area. The fee-for service thermal energy service model will be used to influence the implementation of a rural energy pilot project in Lesotho and support will be provided by the team of researchers to the government of Lesotho during implementation. Lessons will be drawn from the implementation and possibility for replication will have been explored in a second developing country -Kenya.

我们提出的研究将解决发展中国家农村地区热能服务提供的挑战，预计到2030年，发展中国家农村地区将有超过26亿人无法获得热能服务。该研究将研究利用不同方法为烹饪、空间供暖和卫生提供热能的现有经验。这项研究将研究一种被称为“服务收费”（用户为提供的能源服务付费）的特殊商业模式，以及在农村地区提供热能的不同能源输送选择。按服务收费的方式依赖于私人提供商提供的服务，每月收取少量费用。私人提供商进行投资，最终用户无需预先支付大笔费用就可以从服务中受益。这在农村地区尤其重要，因为那里的人们买不起太阳能热水器。在一些非洲国家，按服务收费的办法已相当成功地用于推广家庭太阳能系统（以及液化石油气）。这项研究将为在热能服务领域复制这一模式创造条件。该研究将研究适用的能源转换和最终用途应用技术，分析制度安排，开发需要实施的商业和企业模式，以促进发展中国家农村地区的热能服务。该研究将分析政府和私人合作伙伴的各自作用，形成农村地区热能等能源服务的公私合作（PPP）模式。它将研究与该问题相关的创新融资模式。所有这些组件都是相互联系的，并有助于模型的可持续性。基于这些广泛的研究，热能服务可持续模式的描述将被发展为一种通用的公私合作模式。学术出版物和报告将撰写研究成果，以解决这一领域的研究差距。热能服务收费模式将用于影响莱索托农村能源试点项目的实施，研究小组将在实施期间向莱索托政府提供支助。将从实施中吸取教训，并在第二个发展中国家肯尼亚探索复制的可能性。
