Stage 4 power cuts destroyed jobs and salaries

Access to electricity — measured by the share of individuals who use electricity as their main energy source — has significantly improved in lower-income countries in recent decades.

Thanks to large-scale rural electrification and infrastructure development programmes, 90% of the population in these countries had access by 2021, up from about 74% at the turn of the century.
Stage 6 even decimated restaurants and a lot of other smaller businesses who had to close for 4 hours at a time
