| Abstract:
|
The number of people without access to modern forms of electricity still remains
at a level of almost 1 billion. Access levels are unevenly distributed with especially
Sub-Saharan African countries tailing behind on ambitions to reach universal access to electricity by 2030.1 Significantly more investments are needed to achieve
SDG-7 to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy
for all,” as well as SDG-13 to “take urgent action to combat climate change and
its impacts.”
Until now what has been
missing is evidence of
the potential of off-grid
technologies to achieve
both SDG-7 and SDG-13
in a cheaper, cleaner and
smarter manner than
other alternatives.
New evidence from the
GIZ, Reiner Lemoine Institute and the greenwerk.
study “Off-Grid Renewable
Energy for Climate Action”
is without ambiguity: off-grid renewable energy solutions, such as clean energy
mini-grids and solar home systems (SHS) have significant environmental, practical,
economic and socio-economic merits over grid expansion.
