The pink region indicates
population density. The white
region indicates where
modern energy is accessible.
Energy poverty is a global
problem that demands a
global solution.

ADB’s response: Energy for All
ADB Energy for All’s goals are drawn from ADB’s 2009
Energy Policy which sets as one of its pillars: “maximize
energy for all, especially for the rural poor.”
• Mainstream access to energy for the poor within ADB’s
operations
• Increase ADB investment in access to energy projects
• Develop strategic partnerships and alliances with other
stakeholders
Energy for All was launched in 2008 to develop and
mainstream approaches for scaling up energy
access to affordable, modern, clean energy among
the region’s poor.
ADB’s investment in energy access increased to a
cumulative total of USD 3.5 billion from 2008 to
2012, which is expected to raise new connections
to modern energy to nearly 11 million HHs
TA size - Around $10 m (supported by
Governments of Japan, Austria, Australia, Norway,
Denmark and Switzerland)
