INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE © OECD/IEA Key messages for Electricity Access (WEO 2007) There is a strong link between people with access to electricity and poverty In absence of vigorous policies, the number of people who will be denied electricity access will still be 1.4 billion in 2030 Priorities for poor countries are:  Infrastructure: An adequate size of electricity market is a prerequisite to attract private investors.  Affordability: once the infrastructure is in place, the main problem to overcome is households’ capability to assume up-front costs.
