IEA (2010):• Electricity: • 250 kWh/yr (rural); 500

kWh/yr (urban)• Clean cooking:

emissions like LPG

Examples of definitions:

Millennium Project:• 300 lumen per HH• Electricity: 75 kWh/yr• Modern cooking fuel

(significantly improved cooking environment)

How does the Netherlands operationalise access to modern forms of energy?

1.HH Access to electricity grid2. HH Access to small amounts of electricity (light, communication)3. HH Improved cooking

•Before 2007: “clean energy” •After 2007: “renewable energy”13-04-23 6

How does the Netherlands Count?

# of Connections *# of People in HH (default: 5) * Sustainability Factor (0 – 1.5) *% of financial support from DGIS

= People with access to Energy
