Access to Energy for the Poor Forum
"Access to energy is a prerequisite for economic advancement. In developing countries however there is a massive un-served energy market. Two billion people do not have access to electricity or other forms of modern energy. Three billion people do not make use of modern energy options to cook their daily meals, but use fuel wood, wood products or manure to cook. These people need modern energ solutions for their homes, their businesses, their schools, their health centers. To a significant extend, they have the ability to pay for energy products. Whereas in other sectors the rural market has been discovered, in the energy sector it is still largely untouched. This implies a gigantic untapped client base, waiting for someone to attend to."
This forum is meant for actors (companies, financial institutions, energy industry, research institutes, NGOs, policy makers) with an actual interest in energy access for the poor in developing countries. On this forum you can react to statements and find relevant publications and presentations.
