Schneider: Revolutionizing The Essence of Access to Modern Energy

Every country, both developing and developed need access to modern energy. Countries are increasingly moving towards the use of affordable modern energy for the growth of their economic bases.

Across the globe, the disadvantaged people live on less than two US Dollars (200 shillings) a day, whereas their families’ energy costs may run to more than 15 US Dollars (1500 shillings) a month.

There is need for governments around the world to make sure that there is access to modern sustainable energy which will be essential for improving the living standards and health of local and poor populations.

Providing the greatest number of people with access to energy entails the implementation of simple, efficient and affordable solutions – from solar lanterns to decentralized micro-grids.

These solutions can be deployed to meet the needs and fit the uses of individuals and entrepreneurs, public services and industry. An economic model based on strong local commitment is essential to guarantee the reliability and sustainability of the solutions deployed.
