Theory of Change
Context
There is a global momentum in renewable energy development: more favorable governmental policy, increased awareness and a growing need for distributed power generation. Solar PV is one of the most potent renewable energy technologies currently available. Solarplaza has its knowledge and network base deeply rooted in that domain.
Three key drivers:
(1) 850 million people around the world have no access to electricity at all (IEA, 2019).
(2) Electrification and the digitization it enables are key drivers for modern economic advancement.
(3) Climate Change is accelerated through heavy usage of polluting energy.
Starting Principles
Access to energy empowers communities in their educational and economic potential and improves the overall quality of life.
Facilitating that energy access in a sustainable way is the most fair approach for both people and planet.
Funding, as well as access to a global solar PV network and industry expertise, empower and accelerate partners and clean energy access projects.
For global solutions to be effective and sustainable in the long term, they need to be tailored and coordinated locally and need to be replicable.
Proper network and knowledge are instrumental in applying funds in the most effective manner.
