Table 2 documents the ten countries where the largest numbers of people live without electricity. Though methodologies for determining electrification vary by country, the data appear to capture all households with access to electricity whether or not they pay for it.Sub-Saharan Africa is relatively underrepresented in this ranking because it is divided into many smaller countries. Across the region,the majority of the people (71 percent) live without electricity. This is certainly related to the low refrigerator penetration we discussed above. It is also notable that Brazil and China are not listed in Table 2. Brazil, despite its population of almost 200 million and its vast territory, has only 8 million people living without electricity,and China has only 11 million living without electricity even though it has seven times the population of Brazil.
