The objective of the Integrated Energy Services Project is to increase access to efficient and sustainable integrated energy services in predominantly indigenous rural areas of Mexico. The restructuring is proposed to reflect the following: (i) the focus will be solely on simpler, more reliable photovoltaic (PV) technology in the form of centralized 'solar farms (CSF)', feeding distribution lines to supply electricity to households (other renewable energy technologies in the original project, including biomass gasifies, micro hydropower and micro-wind generators will not be included as they have proved more complex to organize install and maintain, compared to PV technology); (ii) although the number of target households would decrease in the restructured project the electricity capacity per household will increase nearly tenfold, thus significantly improving the beneficiaries' quality of life and standard of living; the limited capacity provided for individual households in the original plan is considered a major cause of the generally lukewarm social acceptance for that project; (iii) the Secretariat of Energy (Secretaria de Energia, SENER) as the project implementing agency has designated the Federal Electricity Commission (Comision Federal de Electricidad, or CFE) as the operator of part two (rural energy subprojects four), thus bringing in an important counterpart due to CFE's proven experience in planning, design and engineering, and construction of solar power projects, as well as maintenance and operation of this type of facilities; (iv) the project closing date would be extended from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014; and (v) funds originally allocated to activities that are already being implemented with government funding will be reallocated to part two (rural energy subprojects). The expectation that all 34,000 individual dispersed households will have been c
