Reliable energy access drives economic growth, yet 770 million people worldwide lack access to electricity and millions more face frequent blackouts and brownouts.
DFC’s investments provide people with reliable and secure sources of energy and help end energy poverty. We support projects that expand electricity access, diversify energy sources, strengthen energy markets, and support emerging energy technologies.
DFC also invests in clean energy manufacturing to support more diverse supply chains that reduce market risk and help our partners take advantage of the investment opportunity in the clean energy transition.
