760 million people still live without access to electricity today – more than the entire population of Europe. Most are using polluting or dangerous products, such as kerosene and candles, to light their homes. Over a billion more don’t have reliable energy access.
How does it work?
But what is energy access? ESMAP has developed a Multi-Tiered Framework to measure it and defines it as “the ability to avail energy that is adequate, available when needed, reliable, of good quality, convenient, affordable, legal, healthy and safe for all required energy services”.
