It introduces a robust Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) framework based on a dynamic model that links off-grid energy supply to rural households primarily engaged in crop farming as a key economic activity. The framework leverages the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NDSGA-II), a powerful multi-objective optimization technique, to balance the trade-offs between costs and revenues, ensuring the sustainable delivery of energy services to rural communities. By underscoring the interplay between availability, accessibility, and affordability, the approach reveals that while costs are primarily associated with securing energy availability, revenues are essential for enhancing both accessibility and affordability. This comprehensive and holistic strategy offers an innovative solution to the multifaceted challenges of energy poverty in rural areas, ensuring long-term sustainability and economic viability.Energy policyEnergy policyRenewable energy sourcesCooperating objects (Computer systems)Electric power productionSocial justiceEconomicsEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementRenewable EnergyCyber-Physical SystemsElectrical Power EngineeringSocial JusticePolitical Economy and Economic SystemsEnergy policy.Energy policy.Renewable energy sources.Cooperating objects (Computer systems)Electric power production.Social justice.Economics.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Renewable Energy.Cyber-Physical Systems.Electrical Power Engineering.Social Justice.Political Economy and Economic Systems.333.7Bokoro Pitshou Ntambu1437477Sharma Gulshan1834496MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911015967903321Curbing Energy Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa4409992UNINA
