Energy Access - Global
Nearly 1.3 billion people are without access to electricity
More than 2.6 billion people rely on the traditional use of
biomass for cooking, which causes harmful indoor air
pollution.
Nearly one billion people will be without electricity and
2.5 billion people will still be without clean cooking
facilities in 2030.
Energy Access - Asia-Pacific
About 700 million people have
no access to electricity
and about
85% of those
live in rural areas
1.9 billion people in the region
–
early half of Asia’s populatio of
4.1 billion) have
no access to modern cooking fuels and facilities
and are dependent on the traditional use of biomass
Current trends show that without policy, regulatory and financing
changes, even in 2030, about
350 million people will have no access
to electricity, and 1.6 billion people will have no clean cooking
facilities
Energy Access and Poverty
Without
access to modern energy, it is
not possible to achieve the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
–
reducing poverty,
improving
o e ’s
and
hildre ’s
health, broadening the reach of
edu atio
International Energy Agency
There
can be no development without energy, and that
poverty can
not be addressed sustainably without paying due attention to
energy

Launched by the UN Secretary-
Ge eral i
, the
Sustainable Energy for All
Initiative
is a ulti
-stakeholder partnership between governments, the private
sector, and civil society.
Three objectives to be achieved by 2030:
•
Ensure universal access to modern energy services.
•
Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.
•
Double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
Some highlights
More than 50 developing countries are now working with the initiative More than $50 billion mobilized from the private sector and investors Tens of billions of dollars committed by multi-lateral development banks Hundreds of actions have been catalyzed
“ustai a le E ergy For All I itiati e
“ustai a le e ergy is the golde thread that o e ts e o o i gro th, so ial
equity, and a climate and environment that enables the world to thrive. This
initiative is bringing together governments, the private sector, and civil society, in a
part ership that’s deli eri g real results.
Ban Ki-moon Secretary General, The United Nations
Decade of Sustainable Energy for All (2014-2024)
The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared the decade 2014-2024 as the
Decade of Sustainable Energy for All, underscoring the importance of energy issues for
Accessing Sustainable Energy in the Asia-Pacific
To provide sustainable energy access, the Asia-Pacific countries would need a
combination of:
Right governance, policy and regulatory frameworks, and institutional
mechanisms
Public sector financing and the right incentives
Innovative new business models that would attract the private sector to
invest in sustainable energy projects

.
•
A resolution to promote renewable energy for energy security and
sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific
(Resolution
E/ESCAP/64/L.13/Rev. 1 dated. 29 April 2008) was proposed during the
Commission Session by ESCAP which was adopted by the member
countries.
•
APCTT, as a Regional Institution of ESCAP, was mandated by this
resolution
to establish an institutional cooperation mechanism
for
APCTT’s Work
Programme on Renewable Energy
APCTT implemented
a proje t duri g
, e titled
Supporting the Development of
an Institutional Cooperation Mechanism to Promote Renewable Energy
to
strengthen the capacity of member countries to promote the utilization of renewable
energy resources to meet their energy needs.
Major Outcomes
•
Online platform (http://recap.apctt.org) to facilitate the institutional cooperation
e ha is k o as
Renewable Energy Cooperation-Network for the Asia-Pacific
RECAP
•
Survey to assess the status of renewable energy utilization in 12 countries in the
Asia-Pacific region
•
Guidebooks on renewable energy resource assessment and planning with respect to
solar, biomass, wind, micro-hydropower energy, and intellectual property issues

•
APCTT has developed a
Renewable Energy Technology Bank (RET-
Ba k
of
tested and proven renewable energy technologies
(RETs) initially in the areas of
solar, biomass, wind, mini-hydro power and geo-thermal energy.
•
The

.
•
As of now
60 technologies
available for commercial transfer through RET-Bank.
•
For Submitting technologies to RET Bank:
