1.3 billion people currently lack access to electricity. When will they turn on the lights, and what will happen when they do? Due to the sizeable potential upside, it is crucial to understand electrification in order to more accurately forecast future energy demand. Nearly every developing country runs its own electrification programme; however, these programmes vary from highly successful to entirely inept.
