Energizing Finance Report 2024

This sixth edition of the report tracks finance for electricity and clean cooking committed from 2014 to 2022. This report is a special edition that focuses on selected Sub-Saharan African and Asian countries – 20 tracked countries based on the 2021 Energizing Finance report – to see the trends in recent years, including those countries that are no longer High-Impact Countries (HICs) as defined by the Tracking SDG7 report series.

The objectives of this report are to understand the international public finance flows and identify the gaps that need to be filled to achieve the two energy access goals. The report focuses on the trends in public sector finance on energy access by analyzing the data obtained from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC).

The report covers:

• Analysis of international public finance commitments for electricity access and clean cooking access in the 20 tracked countries  
• Breakdown of commitments by region, country, development status, financier type, technology and financial instrument
• Case studies on electricity access in Bangladesh and Kenya along with an overview of policy and regulatory environments in these countries
• Analysis of trends and challenges in energy access financing. The two case study countries were selected based on historical performance on attracting financing, regional diversity and electricity access levels.
