KNOWLEDGE
IMPACT
INFLUENCE
• Practical Action is advocating Total Energy Access and basic minimum standards to the full range of energy services people need to escape poverty.
• PPEO 2010, 12, 13
• Development Interventions• Demo Projects
Background (WHY PPEO?)
About 150 million people per year must get lifetime access to clean cooking facilities
About 75 million people per year must get lifetime access to reliable and adequate electricity
2.5 billion people (45% of the developing world) depend on agriculture and agri-based economy. Agriculture sector generates 29% of GDP. There is need of energy for increasing productivity; improve agro-processing and earning more from agro. production. 952 TWh of electricity generation would be required annually to meet the 2030 target.
One billion people are served by health facilities without electricity.
Fifty per cent (291 million) of children in the developing world go to primary schools without access to any electricity.
The Challenge
Unavailability of data for policy on energy access for development (World Energy Outlook and World Development Report)
No data = No visibility, No visibility = No interest
Lack of understanding of people’s experience of energy access and the effect it has on their lives

Total Energy Access:Advocacy Agenda
Recognise energy needs across home, work and community
Measure energy services, not just supply
Prioritise and adequately finance decentralised solutions
Acknowledge the roles of government, private sector and civil society in achieving Total Energy Access
Encourage an ecosystems understanding of the energy landscape
Create the space for and support civil society
