Power for All launches call to action for Development Banks to end energy poverty before 2030

Power for All—a global campaign to accelerate energy access—launched a Call to Action, at the World Bank Spring Meeting CSO Forum, to multilateral development banks (MDBs), including the World Bank Group, urging them to take critical steps to increase the pace of energy access to achieve sustainable energy for all by 2030, or sooner.
 

With its partners, Power for All identified three actions that MDBs can pursue to accelerate energy access and help achieve poverty eradication:
 

1. Add energy access opportunity cost assessments into funding decisions;

2. Create a dedicated energy access superfund; and,

3. Create decentralized renewable energy fast­track funding Intermediaries in key countries suffering from energy poverty.
