Hassna and her family do not have any access to energy. Close to the equator, the sun sets around 6 p.m. year round, and after the sun sets Hassna’s family lives in darkness; their only sources of light are a small kerosene lamp and the fireplace. Hassna and her family experience energy poverty – according to the World Bank, 1.1 billion people worldwide are affected. Agenda 2030 was determined in New York in September 2015. It defines 17 goals, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goal 7 is to increase the prevalence of clean, affordable energy, specifying that by 2030 everyone on earth should have access to affordable, reliable, clean energy. There has never been such an ambitious goal before, and maintaining a sustainable energy supply globally is a complex task.
