Poor People ’ s Energy Outlook 2016 National energy access planning from the bottom up
Total Energy Access
Energy poverty is set to increase
Energy plans suffer from a know your customer deficit
A people centered approach
Bangladesh Kenya Togo
Community energy planning • Mapped resources and technically feasible solutions • Current levels of access (multi-tier framework) • Needs and priorities in home, work, community • Modelled least-cost means of delivering that level of energy demand • Gender focus: different needs and opportunities for men and women
Scale of the challenge Affordability Low level Unsafe and Access of supply cooking • The spread of small-scale solar is impressive, used by over 60% of • Those with an electricity supply were mostly in Tier 1 (or Tier 0) • Reliance on biomass fuels (mostly wood) on very basic stoves • Over 92% in every case wanted energy services requiring at least Tier 2, • Very few manufactured stoves (1 in Bangladesh, 8 in Togo) households in 5 of 12 communities • Huge time invested in collecting and preparing fuel, and cooking • But there is an income gap. Those without are on average poorer often more for SMEs • In some communities and countries (e.g. Togo) solar markets remain thin

Calls to action
Promote integrated planning Re-prioritize cooking Recognize differentiated needs Measure what’s meaningful
Major obstacles, simple solutions Capacity-building on decentralized energy technologies Voice of energy-poor in planning
