Summary

Current global electricity-access benchmark used to replace older 675 million access claims in documentary and wiki-facing material.

Key Data Points

  • The 2025 Tracking SDG7 release reports that over 666 million people lacked access to electricity in 2023.
  • The same release frames global basic electricity access at roughly 92% of the world population.

Relevance

Use this source when citing the current global electricity-access gap. Older 675 million wording reflects an earlier Tracking SDG7 estimate and should not be used for current narration without a year label.

Limitations

  • This is a global access benchmark, not Nepal-specific.
  • The headline figure refers to 2023 access status, published in the 2025 report cycle.
