Multilateral Energy Compact for Health Facility Electrification

The Multilateral Energy Compact for Health Facility Electrification aims to electrify 35,000 health facilities by 2026 and conduct 30 national or sub-national assessments. The initiative focuses on three pillars: implementation, data, and coordination. It estimates a financing requirement of USD 550-700 million for the electrification of 25,000 facilities, plus USD 30 million for data and coordination. The compact is supported by various partners, including SEforALL, Power Africa, and WRI, and utilizes tools like the Powering Healthcare Hub to track interventions and provide market intelligence.

• The Multilateral Energy Compact for Health Facility Electrification has established a collective goal to sustainably equip 35,000 health facilities with clean and reliable power solutions by 2026, alongside the completion of 30 national and sub-national assessments in areas with large energy access gaps.
• The estimated investment required to electrify 25,000 health facilities is between USD 550 million and 700 million, based on an average power solution of 3 kWp at USD 5/Wp per primary healthcare facility including installation and O&M. An additional USD 30 million is needed for coordination and data-gathering.
• The initiative expects to improve access to quality health services for 100 million to 200 million people, including internally displaced persons and refugees.
• Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) has developed the Powering Healthcare Hub, a resource providing data and best practices, which includes a health facility electrification heatmap to track global interventions.
