This chapter considers electricity as a basic good that satisfies critical basic human needs for refrigeration, light, communication, and air conditioning. It considers the widespread nature of electricity deprivation and the challenges that exist to address this deprivation. The chapter also considers the relationship of electricity with other basic goods (e.g., healthcare and food). The chapter examines the subsistence right to electricity and the very limited appearance of this right within the United Nations system of human rights. It also examines electricity provision paradigms (top-down and bottom-up approaches), renewable electricity generation (solar and wind), climate change, and electricity and growth.
