这份报告开创性地估计，在金字塔底部，改善能源服务有370亿美元的市场机会。它介绍了拥有创新商业模式的公司，并详细探讨了它们需要具备哪些条件才能成功。更具体地说，该报告评估了照明、基本电力和烹饪服务的商业机会，并深入探讨了公司如何在世界各地抓住这一潜力。为了扩大基于市场的成功，它为运营公司、社会和商业投资者以及政策制定者和捐助者提供了一系列建议。考虑了三种照明解决方案：(A)太阳能灯笼、太阳能套件和屋顶太阳能家庭系统；(B)由社区一级运行的微型电网提供的电力；以及(C)通过中央公用事业公司电网扩展提供的电力。理由是，最大的增长和创新似乎是在这些产品中，相当多的企业开始规模化运营。此外，根据目前的现金支出，从划一的成本角度来看，很大一部分目前依赖传统能源的人是负担得起的。第一章，引言，讨论了作为市场的能源准入，并确定了进一步催化商业成功故事的方法。第二章通过对能源设备、微型公用事业和电网扩展的深入分析，探讨了公司如何为市场服务。第三章讨论了可以做些什么来帮助扩大能源获取的成功案例，重点是完善商业模式；重新思考政策以及政府和发展伙伴的作用；重新确定融资的重点，包括讨论影响和商业投资者的机会。
This report breaks new ground by estimating that there is a $37 billion market opportunity for improved energy services at the base of the pyramid. It profiles companies with innovative business models and explores in detail what it takes for them to succeed. More specifically, the report sizes the commercial opportunity for lighting, basic electricity and cooking services, and explores in depth how companies are capturing this potential around the world. With a view to scaling up market-based successes, it offers a series of recommendations for operating firms, social and commercial investors, as well as policy-makers and donors. Three solutions are considered for lighting: (a) solar lanterns, solar kits, and rooftop solar home systems; (b) electricity supplied by mini-grids operated at the community level; and (c) electricity supplied through grid extension from a central utility. The rationale is that the greatest growth and innovation appears to be in these offerings with fairly large numbers of businesses starting to operate at scale. In addition, based on current cash expenditures and from a levelized cost perspective, they are affordable to a sizable portion of those people currently relying on traditional energy. Chapter one, the introduction, discusses energy access as a market and defines ways to further catalyze commercial success stories. Chapter two explores how companies are serving the market, with an in-depth analysis of energy devices, mini-utilities, and grid extension. Chapter three discusses what can be done to help scale-up energy access success stories, with an emphasis on refining business models; rethinking policy and the roles of governments and development partners; and refocusing financing, including a discussion of the opportunities for impact and commercial investors.
