Poor People’s Energy Outlook 2016: National Energy Access Planning from the Bottom Up

The Poor People’s Energy Outlook 2016 provides pioneering new research into energy access planning from the perspective of the energy poor in Bangladesh, Kenya, and Togo. It finds that bottom-up national energy planning is feasible.

In this edition of the PPEO, we take a bottom up approach to energy planning. Applying our Total Energy Access framework, we worked in 12 representative communities in Kenya, Bangladesh and Togo, comparing the resulting plans with existing national plans.
