Abstract: Absence of national grid to supply coastal regions necessitates provision of rural electrification. Electrical distribution network become the best option. Experience has shown that most of the projects executed within the region do not last due to numerous challenges such as workforce not familiar with environment, community relation issues, security, transportation, seasonal and tidal variations, no access roads, river-crossing, swampy soil, sand filling, high cost of operating and maintaining generating plants amongst others. All these invariably lead to either producing substandard projects or outright abandonment. Practical approach was adopted in the study. Sustainable development in rural communities can only be achieved when the suggested solutions in this study is properly applied to ensure an improved social, commercial and industrial life for rural dwellers.
