Access to energy is the foundation of human flourishing, fueling economies, improving health, and lifting people out of poverty. Yet today, billions are forced to rely on dirty, inefficient fuels like wood and dung for cooking, heating and daily survival. The consequences are devastating.

For decades, the world has tried to solve energy poverty through well-intended, aid-based solutions. Energy Corps is different. We combine the best of what’s worked in the past with a new, ground-breaking model built on industry support, and fueled by private and public donations.

Our goal is not “less poor” but instead wealthy. To do this we must triple energy access globally, while ensuring energy systems are broadly deployed and built to last.
People Need Power to Flourish
The progress we make in closing the energy gap today will touch billions of lives around the world.
Some 6 billion people lack reliable access to energy. Without it, hospitals can’t function, businesses can’t grow, schools close and families are forced to burn wood and dung just to cook and stay warm—filling their homes with toxic smoke that causes 3.2 million premature deaths every year.
Energy poverty isn’t just an economic issue—it causes major
environmental impacts. The worst air quality, dirtiest water and most polluted soils are where it’s poor. They can’t afford to clean it up.
That’s why Energy Corps exists. We are a U.S.-based nonprofit and global hub bringing together corporate leaders, NGOs, foundations and governments to expand access to affordable, reliable energy that powers homes, hospitals, schools, and businesses and much more. Here’s why that matters:
The Energy Industry
For the energy sector, 50-50-50 represents a major opportunity:
Expanding Markets. The world’s biggest underserved energy markets are in regions without reliable power or fuelsExpanding access to modern energy not only saves lives but it also creates demand, investment, and long-term industry growth.
Defining the Future of Energy. This is a chance for energy leaders to shape the role of all energy technologies in delivering real, life-saving solutions.
Global Stability & Security. Energy access is directly tied to economic and political stability. The energy industry has an opportunity to lead solutions that create long-term stability in developing markets.
Environmental Protection. Wealthy people and healthy economies can afford to invest in environmental protection and adapt to climate change.
NGOs, Foundations and Nonprofits
