| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Subsidized access to electricity is important to meet increasing demand for irrigation and reducing reliance on dirtier diesel pumps. Feeder Separation (FS) is an engineering-solution which can ration supply to farmers, curtail power theft, and upgrade the power-grid network. However, limited evidence exists if and how FS actually benefits farmers, other consumers, and the environment. |
