BLUETTI at the 13th World Urban Forum: Partnering with UN-Habitat to Illuminate Global Sustainable Urbanization
This year’s WUF13, themed “A Home for All: Safe and Resilient Cities and Communities,” focused on the housing gap and slum upgrading challenges facing nearly 3 billion people worldwide. BLUETTI believes that “housing equity” is fundamentally rooted in “energy equity,” a vision closely aligned with the company’s mission to make clean energy accessible to every household.
“Access to clean, reliable electricity should not be a luxury; it is a cornerstone of human dignity, survival opportunities, and the future of communities. In BLUETTI’s blueprint, the deployment of every energy storage system is not just a shift in energy supply, but a foundation for vulnerable families to build resilient lives. We provide not only light, but also hope.”

Eric Fang then detailed BLUETTI’s inclusive energy practices worldwide. Through the “Lighting Africa A Million Futures” (LAAF) charitable initiative, BLUETTI has donated solar lighting equipment to over 20,000 households, 30 schools, and communities, directly improving the quality of life for more than 60,000 people.
For economically disadvantaged regions, BLUETTI has launched the Paygo (Pay-as-you-go) inclusive energy solution in Africa. This solution combines efficient energy storage hardware with flexible financial tools, enabling households that cannot afford high upfront costs to access clean electricity in real time via convenient methods like mobile payments. This model not only addresses the challenge of “energy access” but also fosters local micro-enterprise entrepreneurship through energy empowerment, effectively promoting community economic self-sufficiency.
Rebuilding Resilience with Technology: Leaving No Community Behind
From lighting off-grid communities in Africa to powering truck drivers’ onboard needs on Asian highways, and providing backup power for disaster relief worldwide, BLUETTI remains at the forefront of the energy transition. Through deep collaboration with international organizations like UN-Habitat, BLUETTI is fulfilling its corporate mission of “providing clean energy for humanity” with cutting-edge energy storage technology and diverse scenario-based solutions.
