Coping with shock: Last-mile distributors and COVID-19
This Energy Insight provides an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on Last-mile distributors
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic shocks have presented enormous challenges for energy access companies and the customers they serve. Last-mile distributors (LMDs) have been affected more than most. Challenges vary, from issues with procurement and logistics, to a shortage of working capital.
This Energy Insight provides an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on LMDs, how they have responded and adapted to the new reality, and what support they need to survive and bounce back more resilient than ever.”
This research is part of the Energy and Economic Growth Applied Research Programme.
