Globally, 2.6 billion people still lack access to clean cooking, while more than 750 million still live without access to electricity. People living in poverty across the world are continuously affected by the low availability of sustainable and reliable energy, with increasing difficulty in off-grid and remote areas. 

We know that modern energy services are crucial to human well-being as well as to countries' economic development. At SNV we are committed to ending energy poverty.

Our ambition is to contribute to transforming energy markets, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. With the right mix of approaches, solutions and technologies, we work with public and private partners to achieve this goal.

By ensuring energy access and facilitating progress in market creation, gender equality, security, health, education, and climate change mitigation, our projects have improved the lives of millions of people around the world.
