Access to electricity

The share of people with access to electricity.

This is the share of people who have access to electricity at home, whether from the grid or from off-grid sources such as solar systems. The World Bank estimates it from household surveys and censuses, filling the gaps with a model, for its tracking of the UN goal of energy for all. In rich countries it has been 100% for decades, so the differences are in Africa and South Asia.
