The report "Energizing Finance: Taking the Pulse 2019" analyzes the financing requirements to achieve universal energy access (SDG7) by 2030 in Madagascar, the Philippines, and Uganda. It focuses on the roles of mini-grids, stand-alone solar, and improved cookstoves (ICS), estimating a total aggregate investment need of USD 6.4 billion across the three countries, including USD 1.8 billion specifically to address affordability gaps.

• The total financing need of USD 6.4 billion is composed of approximately USD 800 million in grants, USD 1.7 billion in equity, and USD 2.1 billion in debt, with USD 1.8 billion required for affordability gap financing.
• In Madagascar, achieving universal access requires USD 2.3 billion, with stand-alone solar projected to provide electricity to 84.8 percent of households by 2030, requiring USD 1.8 billion in enterprise financing and USD 662 million for the affordability gap.
• The Philippines requires USD 1.8 billion to close its energy access gap. Stand-alone solar is forecast to provide 2.5 million connections by 2030, requiring USD 897 million in total financing, including USD 33 million for the affordability gap.
• Uganda requires USD 2.3 billion to achieve universal access. Stand-alone solar is expected to account for 52 percent of new household connections by 2030, requiring USD 1.76 billion in finance, including USD 329 million for the affordability gap.
