Access to renewable energy (SDG 7 Results)

Do you have a project, or are you planning a project, to help households in developing countries get access to sustainable and affordable energy? Then you may be eligible to apply for the subsidy for Access to renewable energy (SDG 7 Results).

• Your main activity is renewable energy.
• You have at least 3 years’ experience in developing countries.
• You have all the permits you require in the country in question for your application.
