7.1 Ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services
7.2 By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix

Goal 7 aims to give everyone access to sustainable, reliable and renewable energy and clean fuels. We develop both large and small energy projects that contribute to increasing the share of renewable energy and more energy efficiency.
