Abstract
Some 770 million people around the world do not have access to electricity. In the sprawling Democratic Republic of Congo, less than 9% of the population is on the energy grid; a third of rural households in Bangladesh are not connected to the power supply; and neighbouring Myanmar provides electricity to only half its population. For hundreds of millions more people across the globe, access to electricity is sparse. The COVID-19 pandemic was a sizeable setback to this already dire situation. In 2020, for the first time in 7 years, the number of sub-Saharan Africans living without electricity increased.
