The Department for International Development supports the expansion of electricity access to people in developing countries, with all the benefits that brings to both individual wellbeing and national prosperity. Currently there are 1.3 billion people without electricity access. In a world of volatile fossil fuel prices and climate change, the expanded use of renewable energies is core to the challenge of sustainably expanding energy supplies.
Micro-hydro and micro-solar power generation are good examples of the kinds of technologies that will play an important role in achieving the goals of Sustainable Energy for All by 2030, as set out by the UN Secretary-General. Several International Climate Fund programmes incorporate support to such sectors. These include the Results-Based Financing for Low Carbon Energy Access programme announced last year, which will encourage private sector investment in delivering off-grid energy products and services to at least 2.5 million people in poor countries.
