Abstract

Human development, as measured by health, income, and education, is closely linked with access to energy. This chapter describes the state and trends of global energy and electricity consumption with a particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa and developing countries. Different off-grid electrification approaches are described, including grid extension, mini-grids, micro-grids, energy kiosks, solar home systems, and solar lanterns.

Nächstes Kapitel Energy Poverty

See the Preface for a discussion on the definition and usage of this terminology.

Sub-Saharan Africa refers to the 48 African countries south of the Sahara Dessert as defined by the World Bank.

Here “energy use” refers to primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels. For example, it accounts for the energy used as input to a power plant, not just the electrical output of the power plant.

It must be noted that evidence suggests that electricity alone does not necessarily increase productivity, but other factors, for example, access to machinery and education, are also required.

Here “tonne” refers to a metric ton, equal to 1000 kg.
