In the UK and across Europe, we take electricity for granted. At the flick of a switch, push of a button or increasingly when sensors communicate we have light, heating, communication. We rarely even think about, let alone appreciate the luck of being born into a county where energy is so readily available. This, however, is not the reality experienced by all. According to the World Bank, nearly one billion people, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, do not have access to electricity.
