Energy Poverty

"It is our moral failure that we still tolerate poverty." Ela Bhatt

  • 1.1 billion people (one in five) worldwide have no access to electricity
  • UN Sustainable Development Goal:  By 2030,  universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services
  • Only 3 million reached Tier 2 (lights, mobile phone, TV, fan) with off-grid solutions

From lighting millions to empowering a billion
✓ What do people really want?
✓ Is it affordable?
✓ Can it scale to a billion?
✓ Does it work, reliably?
✓ Does it enable climbing the energy ladder?
