G20 Antalya Summit, 15-16 November 2015 – Energy Access Plan
17.11.2015
Within the framework of the G20 Principles on Energy Collaboration agreed at the Brisbane Summit, G20 Leaders in Antalya Summit 2015 committed to work together to “ensure access to affordable and reliable energy for all” (UN Sustainable Development Goal 7), recognising that the lack of access to energy that is affordable, reliable, viable sustainable and modern currently acts as a severe obstacle to poverty eradication, economic growth and social development and inclusion, particularly in developing countries.
The New G20 Energy Access Action Plan “Voluntary Collaboration on Energy Access” is intended to strengthen collaboration of G20 members on energy access issues in a flexible way, taking account of existing initiatives, and will focus on adding value through the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and good practices, in accordance with national circumstances and developmental priorities. The document presents the first phase which will focus on improving electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa including the following aspects: Policy and Regulatory Environment, Technology Development, Dissemination, and Deployment, Investment and Finance, Capacity Building, Regional Integration, Coordination and Collaboration. Future phases of the Action Plan may focus on different regions of the world and may emphasize additional areas as would be endorsed by the Energy Sustainability Working Group through consultations. The Global Facilitation Team of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative will support collaboration under the Action Plan, cooperating with other relevant organizations to prepare regular input into the G20 ESWG and to help avoid inefficient duplication.
