Description: Powering the Crowd into the Future is the fifth and final report in the Crowd Power series and captures the key learnings from three years of research into crowd-sourced financing for energy access businesses and projects. The report captures three years of data, from 2015 to 2017, on relevant campaigns. We provide recommendations for future research and interventions focused on crowd-sourced financing for energy access related businesses and projects. Data demonstrates that crowd-sourced financing for energy access businesses and projects has grown substantially – from $3.4 million in 2015 to $13.7 million in 2017. We anticipate similar growth trends reflected in 2018 data.
