 [[Access to Modern Energy|Access to energy]] is a basic human need. Energy services provide [[:Portal:Improved Cooking|cooking]], lighting, heating and clean water. In situations where large numbers of people are moving within or across borders, access to energy is a priority for basic survival. Safe and accessible fuel is needed for cooking food and to maintain suitable home temperatures. Power is needed both for lighting to provide protection and safety, as well as to support households in their economic activities and for children to study in the evening hours. Power is also needed to charge mobile phones that enable communications, which facilitates contact with family members and free flow of information. Providing energy also supports the transfer of money in cash-assistance programs.<ref name="Global Plan of Action for Sustainable Energy Solutions in Situations of Displacement (GPA)">Global Plan of Action for Sustainable Energy Solutions in Situations of Displacement (GPA)</ref> Despite these needs, energy is a scarce resource in situations of displacement; the majority of displaced people do not have access to affordable, safe, reliable and clean energy.

 Improving energy access can increase levels of safety, comfort and economic opportunity. Additionally, it can assist with the integration of displaced populations by helping the host communities/countries cope with additional pressure on resources.

 According to Lahn and Grafham (2015)<ref name="Chatham House Report for the Moving Energy Initiative (2015) https://mei.chathamhouse.org/heat-light-and-power-refugees-saving-lives-reducing-costs-summary-page">Chatham House Report for the Moving Energy Initiative (2015) https://mei.chathamhouse.org/heat-light-and-power-refugees-saving-lives-reducing-costs-summary-page</ref>, the level of displaced people’s current energy use is economically, environmentally and socially unsustainable. Improving access to cleaner and more modern energy solutions would reduce costs, cut emissions and save lives.
