MISSIONS AND CHALLENGES<\/h2>\n

A significant proportion of the global population still does not have access to high-quality energy services at an affordable cost. Access to electricity remains a recurrent concern in most developing countries, since almost 1 billion human beings still go without, while 3 billion people do not have access to efficient cooking appliances and fuels. Even for those who are connected, the quality and availability of electricity is often either inadequate to meet their essential energy needs or prohibitively expensive.<\/p>\n

Geres operates at different levels<\/h2>\n

For Geres, it is imperative that better access to essential energy services (the supply of lighting, heating and, where this form of power is specifically necessary, electricity) should contribute to the energy and climate transition by offering not only energy supply from renewable and where possible local sources, but also control of consumption through energy saving and efficiency. This improvement is also a vital lever in poverty reduction, inasmuch as energy access not only contributes to improving household living conditions but also encourages the development of income-generating activities and job creation in both rural and urban areas.<\/p>\n

On this theme, Geres works to support households and economic operators (industrial and agricultural VSEs and SMEs) which have either no access to energy or inadequate or inappropriate access. Moreover, seeing access to affordable, high-quality energy as a basic public service, Geres also engages actively with essential players such as the authorities and civil society at both national and local level.<\/p>\n
