Overview
The global pandemic COVID-19 has completely uprooted our lives and changed the way we work. It also has a tremendous impact on the off-grid energy sector. According to a survey by GOGLA, if this situation lasts for more than 3-4 months, many off-grid companies (almost 50%) will not survive. One of the biggest problems of off-grid companies is liquidity. Due to the current situation, customer liquidity has gone down, new sales have decreased, access to capital is either slowed or reduced and this has made it difficult to maintain the infrastructures.
This page list all the articles, resources and information related to COVID-19 and energy access and is not exhaustive. Please feel free to add new resources to this page by editing it.

- Webinar: Solar Heat for Commercial and Industrial Applications – Industry Update & Impact of COVID-19, 14 May
- Sustainability After COVID-19: Voices from Leading International Organizations (GGGI, OECD, UNEP and the World Bank)
- Ask an Expert” with Harish Hande, Founder and CEO of SELCO Foundation
- Facebook Live from Clean and Power For ALL- COVID-19: Impact on India's DRE Sector
- Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW): Covid-19 related uncertainty might wipe out cash flows in India's solar industry and affect sectoral growth for at least two quarters. Solar imports from China declined by 70 per cent in January 2020 compared to January 2019. India relies on China for 80% of its solar imports. The crisis could lead to projects being delayed by 4-6 months and 70,000 people facing job uncertainties. Watch CEEW'S analysis on how India can minimise the damage to its solar sector.
