| Summary: | Substantial gains have been made in
recent years in electrifying urban and peri-urban areas in
the developing world, in partial fulfillment of the global
commitment to ensure access to affordable, reliable, and
modern energy for all by 2030. But additional efforts are
required to reach slum dwellers, who often fall back on
power theft or informal connections to obtain access to
electricity. This kind of access, however, comes at a high
cost for paying customers and distribution companies. Joint
efforts by government, utilities, and local populations can
break the vicious cycle of theft and poor service. |
