✦ Synopsis

Access to Energy Solutions in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda

It is well known that in rural and peri-urban areas of many developing countries, a primary source of fuel is biomass (wood and charcoal) and that access to the electricity grid is very limited.

However, potential for people to select and purchase other energy products that offer improved energy services, like kerosene, batteries, wind generators, solar PV, LPG and small generators is much less understood. Jeremy Doyle of ESD, UK outlines some interesting opportunities.
