Abstract
Energy is fundamental to economic and social development; to reduce poverty and continue to grow. It supports people as they seek a whole range of development benefits: cleaner and safer homes, lives of greater dignity and less drudgery, to better livelihoods and better quality education and health services. At the same time, modern energy (such as natural gas, electricity) access is essential to provide, sanitation services, reliable and efficient lighting, heating, cooking, mechanical power, transportation and telecommunication. However, developing countries are unable to meet rising energy demands. Therefore, there are many problems in the rural areas far from city centers, which are caused by the lack of modern energy. This study highlights the importance of reaching modern energy, describes the minimum standards of it and examines the importance of this energy for households. Lack of modern energy access, a general explanation has been given about the social problems the household has experienced.
Highlights
Energy systems are defined as a transmission and distribution network when energy or energy benefits are needed as needed
A variety of approaches have been proposed to setting a minimum level of energy access from averaged measures in kWh or barrels of oil equivalent consumed per household, to “commercial” energy consumption measures [5]
In the People’s Energy Outlook 2010 (PPEO) 2014 report, energy access for households is divided into five major categories as a result of the data obtained from studies in Africa, Asia and Latin America
Summary
Energy systems are defined as a transmission and distribution network when energy or energy benefits are needed as needed. Energy services for households are lighting, cooking, proper indoor temperature, refrigeration, telecommunications, education and transport. Access to modern energy for public services, e.g. electricity for health facilities, schools and street lighting [1]. It can be seen that in practice many poor households with electricity from the grid gain no more than the light of a few bulbs for a few intermittent hours a night, leaving most development benefits claimed for energy access out of reach. The use of smart boards in classrooms, photo-copying, laboratory practical tests, operating audio-visual equipment, security lights, water pumping, domestic science studies, cooking and boiling More than 95% of those living without electricity are in countries in sub-Saharan Africa and developing Asia, and they are predominantly in rural areas (around 80% of the world total). Nearly three-quarters of the global population living without clean cooking facilities (around 2 billion people) live in just ten countries [1]
