This report from the Sustainable
Energyfor All (SE4All) Knowledge Hub beyond connections
energy access redefined conceptualizes a new multi-tier
framework for defining and measuring access to energy.
Binary metrics such as whether a household has an
electricity connection, and whether a household cooks with
nonsolid fuels don’t help us understand the phenomenon of
expanding energy access and how it impacts socioeconomic
development. This report heralds a new definition and metric
of energy access that is broader—it covers energy for
households, productive engagements and community facilities,
and focuses on the quality of energy being accessed. The
multi-tier framework underlying Beyond Connections will
prove to be a tool for measuring and goal-setting,investment
prioritization, and tracking progress.Access to energy is a
key enabler of socioeconomic development. Energy is needed
for multifariousapplications across households, productive
uses, and community infrastructure. “Universal access
tomodern energy by 2030” has been proposed as one of the
three key pillars of the Sustainable Energyfor All (SE4All)
program, an initiative co-chaired by the United Nations (UN)
Secretary General and the World Bank President. Achieving
this goal would require a wide range of interventions by
variousagencies. The success of such interventions depends
in part on the ability to assess the level of access to
energy—both for planning and investment, and, later, for
tracking progress. SE4All’s Global Tracking Framework (GTF)
2013 report introduced multi-tier frameworks for measuring
energy access. It identified tasks for improved measurement
of energy access over the medium term, including further
development of the multi-tier frameworks. |
