Resumen:

This study is motivated by the Sustainable Development Goal number 7: “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all”. To support rural electrification policies, we propose a model to allocate investment costs of a micro-grid among its users. Starting from the LP-relaxation of a facility location problem, we show how introducing capacity constraints force us to use rationing rules to share the costs. We propose a case study based on real data from an Indian rural village, where a group of farmers – 15 players – may want to share electric generators to pump water for irrigation purpose.
