- In Morocco, the provision of solar photovoltaic kits to isolated villages has helped to raise access rates to electricity in rural areas from less than 15% in 1990 to more than 97% in 2009.
- The national utility, Vietnam Electricity, estimates that in 1975, electrification among poor households in the country was no more than 2.5%.

By 2009 the country had electrified 96% of its households, bringing modern power to the Vietnamese people in both urban and rural areas.
