Sustainable Development Goal #7
Increasing Access to Affordable and Renewable Energies.
The United Nations has identified energy insecurity as their seventh target area. Globally, nearly 1 billion people lack access to electricity. Though nearly 20% of the world’s consumed electricity currently comes from renewable sources, a much greater proportion must be sustainable to avoid expansive social and environmental consequences. In the world’s least developed countries there is an opportunity to expand electrification to remote populations through the introduction of renewable energies that don’t require centralized grid connection. These distributed generation sources, such as solar and wind power, can provide electricity to projects in frontier environments and greatly improve the lives of those around. Integrating containerized electricity generation solutions into your project will empower your mission and those involved.
