That electricity for all campaigns around the globe often fall short of their targets is partly a failure of planning. In the area of generation and transmission, technical changes could improve the handling of key constraints, such as fuel availability, funding, and the rate of building. Planning for distribution networks could be improved by gathering data on end-use demand and deploying geospatial tools. Most important of all, the entire planning process from generation to distribution must be better coordinated if access plans are to be successful.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYAGGREGATE DEMANDAIRAPPROACHAVAILABILITYBLACK CARBONBOTTOM LINEBRIQUETTESBURNING COALCHARCOALCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOCO2COALCOAL GENERATIONCOLORCOMBUSTIONDEMAND FOR ELECTRICITYDEMAND FORECASTDIESELDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDISTRIBUTION OF ENERGYDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSELECTRIC UTILITYELECTRICAL POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRIFICATIONEMISSIONEMISSION FACTOREMISSIONSEND-USEENERGY CONSUMERSENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY INDUSTRIESENERGY INTENSITYENERGY MIXENERGY OUTLOOKENERGY PLANNINGENERGY POLICYENERGY SYSTEMSENGINEERINGFALLINGFORESTFOREST RESIDUESFOSSILFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUELFUEL SUPPLYFUELSGASGASEOUS FUELSGENERATING CAPACITYGENERATIONGLOBAL ENERGY MIXGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGRID DISTRIBUTIONGRID ELECTRIFICATIONGRID EXTENSIONGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEATHEAT GENERATIONHEATINGHOUSEHOLD ENERGYHYDROPOWERINCOMEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYLEAKAGELIGNITELIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASMETHANEMIRRORSMODERN WORLDMOMENTUMOILPEPELLETSPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPIPELINEPOWERPOWER CONSUMPTIONPOWER SYSTEMPOWER SYSTEM PLANNINGPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONREMOTE SENSINGRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESRENEWABLE RESOURCESRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONSOLAR HOME SYSTEMSSOLID FUELSSOURCE OF ENERGYSUPPLY OF ELECTRICITYSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTAX CREDITSTOOLSTRADITIONAL BIOMASSTRANSMISSION GRIDTRANSPORTUTILITIESVOLTAGEWASTEWIDENINGWINDWIND POWERWIND POWER DEVELOPMENTWORLD ENERGYWORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKBrief10.1596/20596
