The technology is readily available, people will pay to have access to it. Yet, a lot of people still don’t have this technology made available to them.

It’s a really expensive amount of infrastructure. First you need the power plant. This is expensive. Then you need the fuel source for it. This involves having reliable transport which has it’s own expensive infrastructure. Then you need the high tension distribution infrastructure. This is way more expensive than the powerplant because it has to go all over the area. Then you need to have transformer stations that knock the high tension down to medium voltage for distribution. Then you need the amazing amount of poles, wires and transformers to get the power to the local houses and buildings. Finally you need the wiring inside the building. All this has to work almost perfectly or you have power outages. Add in people trying to steal power and destroying the wiring. Finally, a lot of poorest places uses diesel to power the generators and that is a *really* expensive way to do that.
