Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.1.1 Lecture clip Access

Course subject(s) Module 2. Access

In this lecture clip, we introduce the first of the 4 A’s: Access. Within this section, some of the concepts introduced in the video clip below about accessibility will be defined.

In this course we use the following definition of energy access:

Energy Access is defined by the International Energy Agency as: “a household having reliable and affordable access to both clean cooking facilities and to electricity, which is enough to supply a basic bundle of energy services initially, and then an increasing level of electricity overtime to reach the regional average“. Source: IEA (2017) World Energy Outlook. All rights reserved.

This means that the state of Energy Access within a region is dynamic because it alters when the regional average changes.
