Access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030 has been defined as a Sustainable Development Goal by the UN (SDG7). It is essential for the provision of clean water, sanitation and healthcare as well as for lighting, heating, cooking, mechanical power, transport and telecommunications services.
