Eli5: Why is it so difficult for third-world countries to provide stable electricity to their citizens despite the technology being so abundant?

Question

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.

In: Economics

Answer 1

Because while technology is available it’s very expensive and you’d need a lot of money to build and maintain it. Add to that lack of skilled labor and that they’d have to import most of the equipment. Most of the third-world countries are poor, both government and people and they struggle with food and water let alone electricity.
