Energy for All is the name of an initiative and partnership, both of which are founded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), to reduce energy poverty in Asia and the Pacific.

The initiative aims to develop approaches for providing access to reliable and affordable energy services and scaling them up. That includes household access to electricity from renewable energy technologies such as micro-hydro, solar, biomass, and small wind power and access to clean cooking fuel such as liquefied petroleum gas and biogas from livestock manure.^[1] The partnership was created to allow entities from different sectors in the region to cooperate. Its stated goal is to provide access to energy to 100 million people in the region by 2015.^[2]

Working groups

There are currently seven working groups in the partnership.^[3]

Domestic Biogas

Convener: SNV Netherlands Development Organisation Target: Deploy 1 million domestic biogas plants for 5 million people and develop sustainable commercial biogas sectors in 15 countries in Asia and the Pacific by 2016.

Lighting for All

Convener: The Energy and Resource Institute (TERI)

Target: Expand access to off-grid lighting solutions for 50 million people by 2015.

Liquified Petroleum Gas

Convener: World LP Gas Association

Target: Expand distribution of LP Gas to remote communities while creating sustainable markets.

Enterprise Development

Convener: Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS)

Target: Develop clean energy enterprises in the region through public-private partnership models and a network of industry associations, institutions and relevant government bodies.

The Pacific Region

Convener: Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP)

Target: Scale up proven models for energy access and disseminate successful approaches throughout the Pacific island countries.

Wind Power

Convener: Korea Wind Energy Industry Association

Target: Deploy small wind power for electrification and productive use in remote areas in Asia and the Pacific region.

+== Working groups ==
-The majority of the energy poor live in Asia and the Pacific: More than 800 million people still have no access to electricity. Almost 2 billion people still burn wood, dung, and crop waste to cook and to heat their homes.<ref>IEA (2010). Energy Poverty - How to make modern energy access universal? - Special Excerpt to the World Energy Outlook 2010.  http://www.iea.org/weo/docs/weo2010/weo2010_poverty.pdf</ref> This persistent energy poverty has hampered efforts to reduce poverty and meet the Millennium Development Goals. Access to modern, cleaner energy is essential to cut indoor air pollution; improve infant and maternal health, education, and agriculture; and ensure inclusive, sustainable development.

+=== Domestic Biogas ===
-To strengthen its investment and increase its project portfolio in energy access, ADB founded The Energy for All Initiative in 2008. The initiative develops and mainstreams approaches for scaling up access to affordable, modern and clean energy among the region’s poor. This includes household access to electricity from renewable energy technologies such as micro-hydro, solar, biomass, and small wind power, as well as access to clean cooking fuel, such as LPG or biogas from livestock manure.<ref>http://www.adb.org/clean-energy/energyforall-initiative.asp</ref>
+Convener: [[SNV Netherlands Development Organisation]]
+Target: Deploy 1 million domestic [[biogas plants]] for 5 million people and develop sustainable commercial biogas sectors in 15 countries in Asia and the Pacific by 2016.
-Within the initiative, ADB launched the Energy for All Partnership, a regional platform for cooperation, knowledge and technical exchange and project developing bringing together key stakeholders from private sector, financial institutions, governments, bilateral, multilateral and non-governmental development partners. The partnership seeks to identify and support energy access projects with demonstrated potential to scale up through implementation structures that enable projects to grow from a pioneering stage to national or regional scale.<ref>http://www.adb.org/Clean-Energy/energyforall-partnership.asp</ref>
-The Partnership aims to provide access to safe, clean, affordable modern energy to an additional 100 million people in the region by 2015.
-'''Working Groups:'''
-The partnership formed seven working groups to meet specific geographic, technological, or thematic challenges to replicating successful models and scaling up access to energy for the poor.<ref>http://www.energyforall.info</ref>
