Also, the rural areas have limited access to energy services.

Earlier last year, two German utilities, Thüga and E.ON, announced two gas demonstration plants.

Encouraging sustainable local enterprises that can deliver reliable energy services based on renewable energy technologies

Growing renewable energy consumption creates new opportunities for renewable energy technology manufacturing and related installation and maintenance services.

Globally and at the national level, energy is still conceptualized and managed in terms of energy sources, not in terms of the energy services those sources provide.

The IAEA's energy assessment services build a State's capability for energy analysis and energy planning, taking into account the country's economic, environmental and social development needs.

Others may be unsure about the potential returns from investing in ecosystem services such as forest carbon storage or in renewable energy for the 80 of Africans who have no access to electricity.

Economic development is in significant part defined by the process of overcoming energy poverty, yet 1.6 billion people still lack access to even the most basic energy services.

Back in April, G 20 leaders accepted that investing in a low carbon infrastructure, particularly energy services, is key to a truly sustainable economic and environmental future.

Further, improving access to modern energy services is critical for both reducing poverty and protecting the environment.

This crisis could help formulate a new approach increase access to reliable, affordable and renewable energy services for sustainable development, promote energy efficiency to make sure economic growth does not raise energy demand and environmental degradation, including climate change.

Energy companies must help businesses and consumers understand the real carbon footprint of all products and services.

Spending 10 per day on energy services would, for example, exhaust the per capita incomes of countries such as Angola, Ecuador, and Macedonia.

Market based solutions to the climate challenge run the very serious risk of undermining development objectives, precisely because they aim to raise the price of energy services in order to make renewable energy sources attractive to private investors.
