16 4. PROMISING MARKET BASED APPROACHES FOR ACCESS TO ENERGY TO THE BOP Social entrepreneurs and multinational corporations alike have experimented with market-based solutions to the challenge of access to energy. A scan of market-based initiatives in early 2009 found 138 projects in 40 countries. These initiatives cover the range of needs, including cooking, lighting, communications, and income generation. They promote a humble cookstove, or a sophisticated 4.1 Urban Rural Successful approaches address BOP energy market by focusing on specific segments Section in document 4.1 Cooking Gas grid connection via cooperatives 4.2 Cooking Devices Solar PV Devices Source: Hystra analysis; Envirofit; D.Light Design For the 1b people living in slums, grid connections through technology or social organization offer large-scale access to safe, reliable, affordable energy. Rural households look for devices like cookstoves and solar lanterns, solar home systems, and rural cooperatives to tie energy access to income generation. Some urban consumers with unreliable grid supply also turn to cookstoves and solar products for a secure source of energy. From these solutions a pattern of innovation emerges. Energy entrepreneurs move from grant-based funding to commercial viability over time, in recognition of the fact that 4.1 hydro plant. Customers are rural households far from the grid, slums households without legal energy connections, or urban households with unreliable, legal energy. In the face of this diversity, successful energy entrepreneurs focus on a specific segment distinguished by need and location. Lighting + communications Power grid connection (cooperatives / prepayment) 4.2 4.3 Solar Home Systems Income generation and collectivities 4.4 Rural cooperatives building a new market takes more time and effort than one enterprise can recoup. In their working model, energy entrepreneurs often employ hybrid strategies that combine the resources of the citizen sector and the business sector. Citizen sector partners move into new roles in designing, marketing and distributing clean energy solutions, and in doing so strengthen the economic viability and social impact of energy enterprises. The market-based solutions profiled below are not incremental improvements on previous programs. Rather, they aim for systems-changing solutions to provide access to energy to low-income people.
