Renewables for Energy Access and Affordability

Image

Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all is recognised as a key lever for development and is embodied by Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7). 39 (See Box 1.)

The lack of access to energy services takes diverse forms, from situations where energy is physically out of reach, to cases where energy services are available but are unaffordable to vulnerable households. 40

Energy poverty is multi-faceted and context specific. In high-income countries where there is universal access to electricity and clean cooking, energy poverty refers to cases where households cannot afford essential energy services in the home, such as heating, cooling, lighting or cooking. 41 In Europe, energy poverty measurement has focused on keeping homes warm, whereas data on cooling remain scarce. 42

Other definitions classify households as energy poor if they spend more than 10% of their income on residential energy. 43 However, this metric does not capture cases where households deny themselves energy services due to affordability concerns, and may therefore underestimate the number of energy poor households. 44

BOX 1. Sustainable Development Goal 7: Energy Access for All

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015 by all United Nations (UN) Member States, has at its core 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are an urgent call to action on the world's most pressing challenges, such as poverty, inequality and climate change, with the aim of creating a sustainable future for all by 2030. In SDG 7, governments committed to providing universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy, which is crucial to support agriculture, business, education, health care, transport and climate action. Achieving this global goal requires accelerated electrification, increased investments in renewable energy technology and infrastructure, enhanced energy efficiency, and enabling policies and regulatory frameworks, particularly in developing countries.

Among the various targets of SDG 7, target 7.1 refers to the provision of universal access to electricity and clean cooking, 7.2 focuses on increasing the share of renewables in the global energy mix, and 7.3 aims to double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency. SDG 7.a seeks to enhance international co-operation and investments that promote energy access, and 7.b calls for sustainable energy infrastructure expansions and technology upgrades in developing countries.

Despite some progress across the indicators, the current pace is insufficient to achieve any of the 2030 targets for SDG 7. Progress towards SDG 7 is slowed by challenges such as rising energy prices, the uncertain macroeconomic outlook, high levels of inflation, debt distress in an increasing number of countries, inequitable distribution of finance, supply chain bottlenecks and rising material costs.

685 million people lacked access to electricity in 2022.

In 2022, the global number of people without access to electricity rose for the first time in decades to around 685 million, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and high energy prices. 45 Data from 2023 suggest a reversal of this trend: by year's end, the number of people without electricity access was projected to decrease i . 46 Of the 71 countries without universal access to electricity as of end-2023, only 34 had targets for electricity access through renewables. 47 (See Figure 1.)

Electricity Access

In 2023, most people without electricity access were in Sub-Saharan Africa, where four out of five people lacked access to electricity. 48 Overall, just 24 countries are home to 80% of the population without electricity access globally, with 20 of these in Africa and the rest in Asia. 49 Countries with the largest number of people lacking access are Nigeria (86 million people), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC; 76 million) and Ethiopia (55 million). 50 Significant progress has occurred in Asia, mainly in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India, which have achieved near-universal electricity access. 51

Distributed renewable energy systems ii offer a decentralised approach to improving electricity access in under-served areas. Off-grid solutions as well as mini-grids and microgrids are key enablers of distributed renewables. Solar energy kits, such as lanterns and solar home systems, are seen as the most cost-effective and viable solution to electrify an estimated 55% of households in the next five years and to reach universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 (SDG 7). 52 (See Snapshot: Central African Republic.)

Doubling National Power Capacity with the Danzi Solar Plan

In late 2023, the Central African Republic opened a new 25 megawatt (MW) solar park connected to a 30 megawatt-hour electricity storage system in the village of Danzi, just 18 kilometres from the capital Bangui.

The solar park, comprising 47,000 solar panels, supplies 250,000 people with renewable electricity, nearly doubling the national power generation capacity. The generated electricity is fed into the grid of the state-owned company Energie Centrafricaine (ENERCA), and the project is financed by the World Bank as part of the Emergency Project for Access to Electricity (Puracell). The Danzi solar plant is expected to replace more than 90% of the energy generated by diesel fuel and to reduce national emissions by a significant 670,674 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2).

In 2023, the electrification rate in the Central African Republic was 16% overall, but it ranged from 35% in Bangui, to 8% in major provincial cities, to just 2% in rural communities. By 2030, the country aims to increase the overall electricity access rate to 50% using diversified power generation sources. Projects have included the Danzi solar plant as well as off-grid options for homes and public entities, mini-grids, and large-scale solar power. Since 2016, national electricity production has increased four-fold from 25 MW to 100 MW. This development signals the country's commitment to reducing its dependence on fossil fuels while greatly ramping up the use of renewable energy to promote sustainable development.

Distributed renewables also provide solutions for displaced populations. With 80% of the 8.7 million refugees around the world lacking access to electricity and clean cooking solutions, distributed renewable energy solutions offer both environmental and financial benefits for refugee camps and promote resilient and productive livelihoods. 53

Mini-grid solutions have helped provide electricity to populations in remote areas where grid expansion would be costly. As of 2022 (latest data available), an estimated 48 million people globally were connected to around 21,500 mini-grids, with an investment cost of USD 29 billion. 54 Successful increases in electrification have occurred in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and India, as well as in Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and others. 55 In South Sudan, where only 8.4% of the population had access to electricity as of 2022, twice as many people are connected through off-grid solutions than through the national grid. 56 Bangladesh has installed more than 6 million solar home systems nationwide, benefiting more than 18 million people – 11% of the population. 57

Boosted by declining costs, 29,400 mini-grid projects (99% powered by solar PV) were planned as of 2023, with 95% of them located in Africa and South Asia. 58 These projects are expected to connect 35 million people at a cost of USD 9 billion. 59 However, mini-grids have the potential to connect up to 490 million people by 2030 through 217,000 new projects, requiring a USD 127 billion investment from development partners, governments and the private sector. 60 Increasing funding for mini-grid projects is key to achieving universal electricity access by 2030. 61

In 2023, global sales of solar energy kits reached nearly 9 million (See Figure 2.), out of which 5.5 million were portable lanterns, 1.5 million multi-light systems and 1.7 million solar home systems. 62 This was down from a total of 9.5 million off-grid solar products sold in 2022. 63

Despite advancements using renewables, many regions struggle to achieve reliable electricity access. 64 Countries that have been the most successful in increasing their electrification rates have taken a comprehensive approach to planning, which involves both grid expansion in co-operation with national grid operators, as well as off-grid solutions, including mini-grids and solar home systems. 65 In Nigeria, the Electricity Act of 2023 regulates the power sector in its entirety and focuses strongly on electricity access. 66 Zambia's Rural Electrification Act emphasises both off-grid and on-grid solutions for electricity access. 67 In 2023, Angola developed a Rural Electrification Plan that includes solar, wind and micro-hydro technologies for supplying electricity to remote areas, and Mozambique approved its Renewable Energy Code to also focus on decentralised solutions for energy access. 68 Uganda revised its Energy Policy in 2023 and presented a vision to achieve universal access to energy services by 2040. 69

Investment in distributed renewable energy iii has grown near-continuously over the past decade (except during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020) and reached an all-time high of USD 558 million in 2021 (latest data available). 70 The average transaction size has also increased, reaching USD 3.7 million in 2021. 71 The majority of investments continue to originate from only a few major players. 72 In areas where markets are less developed, such as in southern Africa, public policy and development finance support remain crucial to driving investments. 73

In 2023, the World Bank announced that it would commit more than USD 1.4 billion to mini-grids over the next seven years through 38 projects in 29 countries, with the aim of decreasing the gap between what communities in remote areas can afford and the costs of providing off-grid electricity solutions. 74 This is expected to initiate close to USD 1 billion in co-financing from the private sector, governments and development partners. 75

In eastern and southern Africa, the World Bank provided new or improved electricity access via on-grid and off-grid solutions to 25 million people through lending projects, policy support and technical assistance. Projects included Uganda's Energy for Rural Transformation Project and the Electricity Access Scale-up Project (EASP), the Malawi Electricity Access Project, the Solar Energy in Local Communities Project (SOLEIL) in Burundi and the Ethiopia Electrification Program (ELEAP), among others. 76 The World Bank's Accelerating Sustainable and Clean Energy Access Transformation (ASCENT) programme, announced in late 2023, sets a target of accelerating sustainable and clean energy access for 100 million people in up to 20 countries across eastern and southern Africa over the next seven years. 77

In Indonesia, the government increased its 2023 budget for enhancing electricity access for poor households, with the funds going to the distribution of converter kits to fishers and farmers, subsidies for the upfront costs of new electric installations, the construction of 12 solar and micro-hydro power plants in under-serviced areas and setting up more than 31,000 solar street lighting systems. 78

Access to Clean Cooking

As of 2023, an estimated 2.3 billion people worldwide – around a third of the global population – still relied on harmful fuels for cooking, including the burning of coal, charcoal, firewood, agricultural wastes and animal dung. 79 Air pollution related to these fuels contributes to around 3.7 million premature deaths annually, particularly among women and children. 80 The use of non-renewable wood fuels for cooking releases an estimated 1 gigatonnes of CO2-equivalent annually, accounting for up to 4.3% of emissions from pan-tropical regions and around 2% of global emissions (roughly equal to those from the aviation sector). 81

Nearly 1 billion people in Africa and around 1.2 billion people in developing Asia were living without access to clean cooking as of 2023. 82 Most of the countries with very low access rates were in Sub-Saharan Africa (29 countries with rates below 20%), followed by Asia (7 countries). 83 Between 2010 and 2022, Sub-Saharan African countries increased their access rate to clean cooking from 8% to around 15%; however, due to population growth, the absolute number of people without access increased by 220 million. 84 Each year, around 20 million additional people in the region lack access to clean cooking. 85

Between 2019 and 2021, the only regions to maintain improvements in access to clean cooking were Eastern Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean. 86 India, China and Indonesia halved the number of people without clean cooking solutions between 2010 and 2022. 87 If current trends persist, Sub-Saharan Africa will be home to around six out of every ten people relying on harmful cooking fuels by 2030. 88 Events hampering progress included the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the recent global energy crisis, which led to an estimated 100 million people resorting to the traditional use of biomass for cooking. 89 Overall, the world remains off-track to achieve the 2030 target of universal access to clean cooking. 90

As of 2023, 2.3 billion people did not have access to clean cooking.

In rural areas worldwide, the share of people using natural gas as their primary fuel has increased faster than the share using electricity, whereas in urban areas the reverse is true. 91 Between 2010 and 2023, 70% of the people who gained access to modern cooking facilities to replace traditional biomass did so using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). 92 Biogas produced with the help of biodigesters is also increasingly popular. 93 In Africa, Kenya is a leading country in biogas policy and investment, with an estimated 17,000 household biogas digesters and 8,000 biogas plants in 2023. 94

Clean cooking solutions based on renewable fuels and renewable electricity offer opportunities for fuel saving and co-benefits emerging from the supply chains of other sectors, such as agriculture. 95 Clean cooking also helps decrease forest degradation and air pollution and provides opportunities for climate adaptation, improving human health and well-being while fostering environmental recovery. 96 Globally, the roughly 4 million solar cookers distributed since 1990 have benefited an estimated 14.3 million people and avoided more than 5.8 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. 97

Image

Less than 10% of the people lacking access to clean cooking live in countries with the necessary policy frameworks and funding. 98 In early 2024, Pakistan called for applications to develop a National Clean Cooking Strategy. 99 Tanzania's Rural Electrification Agency outlined strategic plans for clean cooking in 2023. 100 In Uganda, the government is developing an Integrated National Clean Cooking Strategy. 101 At the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (COP 28), international donors including the African Development Bank committed to directing around 20% of their energy sector investments to clean cooking. 102

Historically, multilateral development finance institutions dominated financial commitments to clean cooking iv . 103 However, commercial financiers and bilateral donors have played a growing role. 104 In 2019 (latest data available), around USD 133.5 million was committed to clean cooking, with USD 56 million from private sources and USD 54 million from bilateral development finance institutions and international donors. 105

The overall clean cooking investment portfolio continues to be dominated by a few large projects in a small number of countries, funded by a handful of capital providers. 106 Much of the finance has gone to projects in Bangladesh, India, Kenya and Uganda. 107 As part of the Global E-cooking coalition (GeCCo), the Solar-Electric Cooking Partnership (SOLCO) has pledged to leverage USD 100 million in financing across refugee-hosting countries in Africa for solar-electric cooking solutions. 108

Energy Affordability

Energy affordability can be measured as the cost of energy as a share of disposable income, or it can be based on self-reported metrics of indoor temperature comfort and housing conditions and the degree of difficulty faced in paying utility bills. In 2020, in addition to the 733 million people who did not have access to electricity, an estimated 447 million people globally did not use any electricity, despite having power connection. 109 In high-income countries, an increasing share of citizens have been affected by high energy prices and poor housing insulation. 110

Addressing energy poverty can not only improve people's indoor comfort and well-being, but also reduce government spending on health and lead to higher levels of educational attainment, economic development, and a reduction in carbon emissions through energy efficiency improvements. Understanding and measuring energy poverty is essential for programmes that target the most vulnerable. 111

In 2023, around 10.6% of Europeans could not adequately heat their homes – up 1.3% from 2022 – as a consequence of higher energy bills and the overall rise in the cost of living. 112 In 2023 and 2024, the EU included measures aimed at tackling energy poverty through energy efficiency improvements and support for vulnerable households in the Social Climate Fund, the revised Energy Efficiency Directive, the Commission's recommendation on energy poverty, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Electricity Market Reform. 113

Image

Policies addressing energy poverty can target root causes such as high energy bills and poorly insulated housing, combined with low income. 114 Supportive measures include building retrofits, use of insulation, replacement of inefficient appliances, and lowering energy bills through distributed renewable energy generation and self-consumption. 115 Policies can also directly support vulnerable households to afford energy bills through grants. 116 (See Subsidies section.)

In 2023, the Warmer Homes Schemes of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) supported 47,900 home energy upgrades, enabling nearly 6,000 energy-poor households to receive free upgrades (such as heat pumps and solar panels) aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. 117 The Greener Homes Initiative in Canada provides grants and loans for vulnerable households to implement similar energy-efficient retrofits. 118

As of July 2024, around 48 million people in the United States – or 23% of the population above 18 years old – reported an inability to pay their energy bills in full over the previous 12 months. 119 The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 initiated several programmes to help alleviate energy poverty, including the Home Electrification and Appliances rebates for low- and moderate-income households, the Home Efficiency Rebate Programme targeting low-income households for home retrofits, and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund providing low-cost financing for renewable energy projects. 120

The deployment of renewables can benefit households and businesses by reducing energy bills, especially in the face of high energy prices. 121 (See Snapshot: Panama.) During the recent energy crisis in Europe, more than half of small and medium-sized enterprises in six EU Member States reported that investing in local renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind power, was the best way to support them through the energy crisis. 122

Empowering Climate-Vulnerable Communities Through Solar Energy

As part of Panama's energy transition agenda, the initiative Operación Solar aims to increase the share of solar power in the country's total generation capacity from 6% in 2022 to 15% by 2030. Launched in 2024 by the National Energy Secretariat (SNE), the initiative focuses on installing decentralised solar PV systems in 663 homes and 10 schools across vulnerable communities, targeting areas heavily affected by climate change. The project aims to produce 585,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar energy per year – benefiting around 3,000 residents – and to reduce CO2 emissions by 180,000 tonnes.

Empowering Climate-Vulnerable Communities Through Solar Energy

As part of Panama's energy transition agenda, the initiative Operación Solar aims to increase the share of solar power in the country's total generation capacity from 6% in 2022 to 15% by 2030. Launched in 2024 by the National Energy Secretariat (SNE), the initiative focuses on installing decentralised solar PV systems in 663 homes and 10 schools across vulnerable communities, targeting areas heavily affected by climate change. The project aims to produce 585,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar energy per year – benefiting around 3,000 residents – and to reduce CO2 emissions by 180,000 tonnes.

Operación Solar is designed to reduce energy costs for low-income families and to decrease reliance on national electricity subsidies, which have grown since the privatisation of Panama's electricity sector in 1998. The initiative targets four climate-vulnerable communities with limited access to affordable energy: Kuna Nega, Veracruz (near the Panama Canal), San Martín de Porres (in Santiago de Veraguas) and Las Lomas (in David-Chiriquí). The pilot phase, slated to end in late 2024, will evaluate the impact of the solar systems on community energy needs. Maintenance will be supported by distribution companies for the first two years, ensuring sustainability.

Key support for Operación Solar comes from diverse organisations providing funding and capacity building, including a USD 700,000 donation from the Municipality of Fuzhou in China as well as contributions from non-profits, academic institutions and private companies. Local banks are exploring concessional financing options for low-income households, while other organisations focus on local capacity building.

Through collaborations with universities, as of mid-2024 around 170 students had received training in solar design and installation, provided by the SNE and other partners. The SDG 7 Academy is training young leaders to raise community awareness about climate change and solar energy management. To ensure local ownership and leadership, workshops are being held to train families involved in Operación Solar to manage their own solar PV systems, and more than 150 professionals have graduated from the programme already.

Through a STEM programme designed to build capacities, Operación Solar collaborates with Sustainable Energy for All, which provides fully funded scholarships for young professionals who intern with the initiative. This support accelerates the pilot project implementation while also enhancing the skills of women for the energy transition. In addition, the project collaborates with SNE's Solar Champions programme, which provides training in solar PV installation and maintenance to Indigenous women from Ngäbe-Buglé, a region with among the highest energy access gaps in the country. The 280-hour programme, conducted in the local language, includes financial capacity building to promote economic empowerment. As of mid-2024, a total of 85 women had graduated from the programme, with 24 of them working in solar companies and 11 having their own micro-enterprises. Where possible, the graduates are involved in installing Operación Solar systems, fostering a synergistic approach between the two projects.

i Estimates of the number of people lacking access to electricity vary by source. Here, the latest consolidated data used are from the 2024 Tracking SDG7 Report.

ii Energy systems are distributed if 1) the systems are connected to the distribution network rather than to the transmission network, which implies that they are relatively small and dispersed (such as small-scale solar PV on rooftops) rather than relatively large and centralised; or 2) generation and distribution occur independently from a centralised network.

iii Distributed renewable energy may also be defined as off-grid renewable energy and includes both stand-alone systems and mini-grids.

iv The United Nations defines clean fuels and technologies for cooking as electricity, natural gas, LPG, biogas, alcohol fuels and solar cookers.
