12. Energy: facts & figures
Energy poverty
Energy financing
Annual requirement for the period from 2010 to 2030 to achieve the universal access to modern energy services and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global mix :
$50 billion for energy access (current spending is $9 billion)
$ billion for renewable energy (current baseline of $258 billion). $560 billion for energy efficiency (current spending is $130 billion).
(SE4All Advisory Board’s Finance Committee Report on Scaling Up Finance for Sustainable Energy Investments, 2015)
1.2 billion people without access to electricity (IEA, 2016)
3 billion people cook and heat their homes using open fires and simple stoves burning biomass (wood, animal dung and crop waste) and coal.
Over 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to the household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels (WHO, 2016).
