Energy drives prosperity drives energy consumption
Energy Access
CRICOS Provider No 00025B
Slide 3
• Almost 3 billion people
rely on biomass for the
cooking and heating
requirements, including;
• 1.3 billion people who
lack ‘access’ to
electricity.
• Many times this number
lack reliable or affordable
electricity.
Definitions of Electricity Access
• Rural – 50 kWh per capita annum or 250 kWh per household
5 hours per day of one small fan or two light bulbs
• Urban – 100 kWh per capita or 500 kWh per household
add mobile phone charging and a TV

Addressing energy impoverishment

No electricity &

Have

services
Energy impoverished: Lack modern energy services to improve
aspects of quality of life (health,
knowledge, economic, social, …) as
determined by community or individual
Less energy impoverished: Have electricity,
& clean cooking facilities but suffer from poor short
term (fuel poverty, health issues, energy insecurity…)
and long term (climate, resources, …) net
relationships with modern energy services
Energy troubled: Good short term but poor long
term net relationship
(climate, resources, …) with
modern energy services
Energy sufficient: Net
improvement in quality of life in
both short and long term

•The forgotten dimension of the energy trilemma
•A complex problem with enormous implications for global health &
wellbeing, the economy and the environment
•There are no easy solutions and no single magic bullet
•Interventions are subject to many unintended consequences
