Rapport sur l’état du marché de l’électrification des soins de santé

The report highlights a significant global gap in reliable electricity for healthcare, estimating a total investment need of 4.9 billion USD, with the largest deficits in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. While solar standalone technology remains the most popular choice, there is a strategic shift toward service-based models like Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) to ensure long-term operation and maintenance. The document emphasizes the need for better intersectoral coordination between health, energy, and climate actors, alongside the adoption of data-driven decision-making and climate finance to achieve sustainable electrification.

• There is a critical global shortage of reliable power for healthcare, with an estimated one billion people facing local care centers with unreliable electricity. In Sub-Saharan Africa, 25,000 facilities have no electricity and 70,000 lack reliable power, while 12% of health facilities in South Asia have no access.
• The total investment required to provide adequate power to the 64% of global health facilities currently lacking it is estimated at 4.9 billion USD. The most significant investment gaps are in Sub-Saharan Africa (2.5 billion USD) and South Asia (2 billion USD).
• Healthcare electrification saw a growth surge during the COVID-19 pandemic, with an average annual growth rate of 47% for initiatives between 2018 and 2021. Solar standalone technology is the dominant choice, used in 82% of electrification initiatives.
• There is a transition from Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) models, which often neglect long-term maintenance, toward service-based models such as Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) to ensure consistent energy quality and sustainability.
• Climate finance, including dedicated funds, renewable energy certificates (D-RECs), and concessional loans, is identified as a promising pathway to fund electrification while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing resilience.
• Key barriers to sustainable electrification include a lack of long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) frameworks, limited government capacity for site assessment and procurement, and poor institutional coordination between health and energy sectors.
