DESCRIPTION
Energy alone is not sufficient for creating the conditions for economic growth, but it is certainly necessary. It is impossible to operate a factory, run a shop, grow crops or deliver goods to consumers without using some form of energy. Access to electricity is particularly crucial to human development as electricity is, in practice, indispensable for certain basic activities, such as lighting, refrigeration and the running of household appliances, and cannot easily be replaced by other forms of energy. Individuals’ access to electricity is one of the most clear and un-distorted indication of a country’s energy poverty status.

“Have you ever thought about what you would have to give up or how much work and effort you would haveto dedicate to daily activities if electricity did not help you?”
This map shows where people whohave electricity supplied to theirhomes live. Electricity access includesthat sourced from a publicly used gridand self-generated electricity (possiblyfrom solar, wind or hydroelectricsources). This map shows access, notthe quantities of electricity used.
The percentage of people with accessto electricity in their own homes isover 97% in Eastern Asia, EasternEurope, North America, WesternEurope and Japan. 7 of the 10territories with the lowest access toelectricity are in Southeastern Africa.
Electricity in homes can be used topower lighting, heating, cooking,radios, televisions, computers, washingmachines, and other appliances.
