"This report tackles the issue of promoting energy access in developing countries, within the framework of EU cooperation policy. It makes some relevant observations on the scale of the problem of energy poverty and the resulting negative implications for achieving development goals. It is also important to mention the importance it gives to the need to adapt energy supply solutions to the specific conditions of developing countries, whilst emphasising decentralised solutions, renewable energy and the autonomy of these countries. If these were the report’s objectives, we would support it. All things considered, however, what ends up predominating is a completely subverted vision of the role of development cooperation, which is transformed into business opportunities for EU countries here. There is a well-known tendency to interfere in the sovereign choices of developing countries, imposing models identical to those in the EU: the deregulation and liberalisation of markets that have led to situations of exclusion from energy access in a number of countries and allowed states to be frozen out of this important strategic sector."@en1
