"Mr President, access to modern energy services is a fundamental prerequisite for poverty reduction and stable, sustainable human development. Without access to energy, whole communities are constrained to a life of poverty under undignified conditions. Substantial efforts have been made to foster private investment for energy access in recent years. However, aside from the economies in transition, very few developing countries can demonstrate progress on scaling-up access to energy for the poor. Financial assistance to energy access for this group of the population has been modest, and it is therefore necessary to increase private sector involvement.
Regarding the future, globally, the Energy Facility provides the only fund specifically focused on supporting investments to challenge energy poverty. Yet currently, there is no commitment to the future EU Energy Facility. I therefore believe that, by enhancing political will and financial commitment in particular, the EU can take up a decisive position in achieving universal energy access by 2030."@en1
