On Monday 10 and Tuesday 11 October, Oslo will be the venue for a high-level conference on financing access to energy for the poor in developing countries. The conference is being co-organised by Norway and the International Energy Agency (IEA), and together we have invited five countries from the South - Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Liberia and South Africa – to be our partners. The aim of the conference is to further explore possible ways of financing access to energy. I look forward to hosting this conference, and it is my hope that together with speakers and participants from more than 70 countries, we will make this conference a stepping stone on the road to providing energy for all.
