• Tools 14 March 2016 UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY - Visualisation Tool The 2030 Agenda has set the of goal universal access to electricity by 2030. The challenge is significant. It involves reaching population with limited incomes, often living in sparsely populated areas, mostly in developing and least developed countries. Costs can tally. Taking into account local characteristics, this model finds the combination of technologies that can provide universal access to the population of every country at the lowest cost.The visualisation tool allows for further…
