Abstract

Access to adequate levels of energy services is a critical prerequisite to development. Energy services are essential to virtually all productive and service sectors. Agriculture, mining, industry and transport are all critically dependent on adequate energy services. One of the most dramatic and current demonstrations of how critical energy is to national economies of developing countries is a recent statement by the president of the Philippines, Fidel Ramos, in which he specifically noted that the absence of reliable power was currently the single most important impediment to national economic growth.l Even service sectors such as trade, commerce, communications, education, health and entertainment all require reliable energy to function properly. Consequently, the development and dissemination of energy technologies is of interest to a wide range of sectors in developing countries.
