UN Development Goal:
Affordable & Clean Energy
Just below 1 billion people worldwide don’t have access to electricity
41% of the world’s population relies on fuel and stove combinations that lead to damaging levels of both indoor and outdoor air pollution. As the need for affordable electricity increases worldwide, there is a massive need to invest in sustainable sources of energy including solar, wind, and thermal power.
