Inhalt: The global community has set itself the goal of ensuring that all people have access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy - Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7. In 2021, 685 million people still lived in the dark, 4 out of 5 of them are in Sub-Saharan Africa. Electrification is especially challenging in poor rural areas due to low returns and high risks, a combination that rarely attracts private investors and often overburdens local authorities and states. In several places all over the world, this has led rural communities to take eletrification into their own hands. Sometimes, installations have been installed and put into the hands of local communities who cooperatively own and manage them. In the course, we develop a basic understanding of the challenges of rural electrification, energy governance and cooperative ownership. We look into major developments and the status quo of cooperative rural electrification in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Based on this, we identify interesting research questions and develop and discuss potential research designs to address these questions.
