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. 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aCooperating objects (Computer systems) 606 $aElectric power production 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aCyber-Physical Systems 606 $aElectrical Power Engineering 606 $aSocial Justice 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aCooperating objects (Computer systems) 615 0$aElectric power production. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aCyber-Physical Systems. 615 24$aElectrical Power Engineering. 615 24$aSocial Justice. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 676 $a333.7 700 $aBokoro$b Pitshou Ntambu$01437477 701 $aSharma$b Gulshan$01834496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911015967903321 996 $aCurbing Energy Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa$94409992 997 $aUNINA
