Where we are - where we need to be
According to the World Bank, over 1.1 billion people have no access to electricity, and a billion more only have intermittent access. These people rely on costly, outdated technologies that are harmful to their health, and hinder their opportunities for social and economic advancement.
Thanks to the rapid development of small-scale renewable technologies, many millions of people across the world can now generate their own electricity and/or access power off-grid. Solar stands out in particular. The price and accessibility of panels today means this build out can be led by the consumers themselves.
