Universal and reliable access to modern energy production services at affordable prices is the seventh sustainable development goal of the UN 2030 Agenda. As a global energy tech company, this is also one of our goals and we implement concrete plans to achieve it.
How we contribute to ensure access to energy
The main areas where we work to tackle energy poverty. By continuously interacting with and involving local communities in the countries where we operate, we promote access to energy using a number of tools:
Building natural gas infrastructure
Transferring part of the extracted gas to the domestic market
Distributing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) locally
Building gas-fed thermal power plants
Installing plants to produce energy from renewable sources
Distributing more efficient cookstoves for domestic cooking
Our main projects supporting access to energy
We invest in infrastructure to produce and transport natural gas in the areas where we operate and enter into commercial agreements that involve the local use of a substantial portion of the gas produced, thus fostering local industrial growth.
We supply natural gas and liquefied natural gas to the local Egyptian market. The natural gas-fed Okpai and Omoku thermal power plants in Nigeria and the Centrale Électrique du Congo (CEC) in Pointe Noire in the Republic of Congo also contribute to power generation. In Iraq, we guarantee access to energy with a gas-fired power plant. We also operate renewable energy plants that contribute both to powering our plants, reducing emissions, and providing electricity to local communities in Egypt and Tunisia.
We will only pursue a just transition if everyone contributes to sharing the costs fairly, without burdening vulnerable communities. In order to achieve this, we need to put concrete plans in place and adopt different solutions that safeguard several geographies and actors, considering the whole system in its entirety.

Here's why energy supplies speak multiple languages
We contribute to meeting demand through partnerships with producing countries and by developing collaborations with international partners.
A socially just energy transition
To support global population growth and economic development, expanding access to energy is essential while continuing along the path to decarbonization. Here are some data from Eni for 2023.
~760 mln
people
with no electricity access, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia in 2022
2.2 bln
people
still without access to safely managed drinking water in 2022
3.5 bln
people
without safely managed sanitary facilities in 2022

More efficient cookstoves to accelerate the development of countries
By replacing traditional cookstoves with more modern and sustainable, locally produced models, we are helping to reduce indoor domestic pollution, promote the economic development of countries and reduce CO2 emissions in Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. In particular, clean cooking significantly reduces the smoke released by combustion, improving the quality of life of families who do not have access to gas or electric stoves. Cookstoves also facilitate a more efficient use of wood biomass, thereby reducing deforestation, and contributing to create jobs because they are produced by local companies.
