Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what programmes her Department has supported in the last five years to delivery electricity to developing countries; and which of those programmes provided outcomes that met the International Energy Agency definition of 250 kwh electricity for rural households and 500 kwh for urban households.

Details of DFID programmes that improve energy access in developing countries can be found on our website at https://devtracker.dfid.gov.uk/

All DFID energy programmes seek to contribute to Global Goal 7 (sustainable energy for all). This involves balancing a range of features including quantity of electricity (ie kWh), availability, reliability, and affordability, as reflected in the Global Tracking Framework, co-led by the International Energy Agency and World Bank.
