A2E Fund Program

Our commitment to fighting electric exclusion in developing countries.

Approximately 675 million people still lack access to electricity and about 2.3 billion people rely on wood, charcoal, crop waste and coal for cooking and heating based.

Access to clean, affordable and reliable energy is vital for social and economic development and to power sustainable growth. It is needed to improve livelihood in developing countries, ensuring access to clean water, cooking and health care. Sustainable energy also powers agriculture, commerce and industry, thus creating prosperity, jobs and opportunities. Likewise, addresses environmental degradation and tackles climate change.

As a reference electric utility and our vocation of openness to the world and sustainability, we are committed to promoting Access to Energy (A2E) in developing countries, focusing on regions with no connection to the electricity grid, and helping communities to break their poverty cycle.
