Thank you very much for participating




Solar home systems, productive use equipment, mini grids, and other
decentralized renewable technologies transform the lives and livelihoods of
those living in energy poverty, and have provided first time access to millions
of low income and rural households. Yet even before the COVID-19 pandemic,
estimates projected that hundreds of millions of people would still be unable to
afford off-grid solar solutions by 2030. The impact of COVID-19 has pushed a
further 70 million people into extreme poverty, intensifying this “affordability
gap”. 

End-user subsidies, which directly reduce costs for consumers, have the
potential to address the affordability challenge and enable energy access for
the most vulnerable communities. However, for them to be as effective as
possible, they must be considered alongside other enablers, such as supportive
fiscal policy and supply side subsidies. In addition, as end-user subsidies are
complex and create the risk of market distortion - which can hamper other energy
access efforts - they need to be designed very carefully.


This event will explore the ‘smart’ design of end-user subsidies to address this
complexity and uncover solutions. It will have a particular focus on stand alone
solar technologies. 

At the event, participants will: 



 * Join energy access experts as they explore how end-user subsidies can fit
   within the ‘tool-kit’ of public financing solutions to achieve universal
   energy access
 * Share their own experience and insights around end-user subsidy design
   challenges in the off-grid solar standalone space and ‘smart’ solutions 
 * Learn from, and participate in the design of, four pilot standalone solar
   end-user subsidy country programs
 * Identify clear next steps to advance clean energy access for hundreds of
   millions of people living in energy poverty 

GOGLA, supported by GET.invest has just launched their latest discussion paper
'Using End-User Subsidies for Off-Grid Solar to Achieve Universal Energy Access'
today. This paper aims to bring the private sectors perspective to inform the
discussion on how end-user subsidies for off-grid solar solutions fit within the
‘toolkit’ of public financing solutions to accelerate energy access. Please
check our resources tab in preparation for the event’’
