759m people worldwide still lacked access to electricity
…that’s about the population of Europe
Smartstream brings scalable and cost effective solutions for off-grid communities

40% of the global population (3.2bn) is in fuel poverty, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) and still lacking sufficient accessibility to power. Over 80% of inhabitants without access to electricity live in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, as per the World Watch
The fuel shortage is not just an energy disaster but also social concern, particularly for isolated villages. According to the UN, one out of every seven individuals does not have access to power. This is where water energy, among the existing sources of renewable energy, has a number of benefits
Tidal energy is very predictable and accessible at all hours. But wherever there is a water source, such as a large river, waterfall, river basin, or coastal tidal application, then these energy sources can be used to provide power to areas off grid
Smartstream affords a cost effective system for harnessing tidal energy and does not need costly and ecologically harmful infrastructure. Smartstream can at relatively low cost play a significant part in reducing fuel poverty, the significance of which on the well being of the world is further discussed below
These factors tend to go side-by-side and have a significant link. The degree of energy usage has an impact on the welfare of the populace. There is a link between energy poverty and lack of access to modern services of energy. As a result, improving accessibility to modern services of energy is critical to alleviating energy poverty. The availability of less expensive energy is critical. According to the United Nations, poverty in developing nations is marked by a lack of power and a large reliance on conventional biomass (United Nations / IEA 2010)
The MEPI (Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index) combines two aspects of energy poverty. On one hand, there’s poverty incidence, which is the percentage of individuals who are deprived of energy services, or the ratio of headcount, and poverty intensity, which is called as dimensions average percentage in which populace is deprived of energy (Nussbaumer et al. 2012)
The ability to get energy is a requirement for human development. Individual survival requires energy, as does the social services provision for instance health care and education. Energy is also a significant input into various economic sectors, from domestic production to agriculture to industry. The development status and wealth of a country and its people is closely linked to the extent of accessibility and kind of energy. The economical energy conversion technologies and readily accessible energy is obtainable, the better the conditions for the community, individual’s development, home, society, and the economic growth. As a result, improved energy access is a constant problem for development agencies and governments
