Explore how off-grid renewable systems help meet the UN’s goals for sustainable energy supply – and discover the critical factors for successful implementation.

Around the world, 1.2 billion people still have no access to electricity. Many more have only poor-quality supply.

Learn how off-grid renewable energy systems can help us meet international commitments to lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve the UN’s goal of sustainable energy for everyone by 2030.

You’ll study both the technical and economic features of off-grid systems, and how they can be successfully implemented to provide electricity for all.
