Summary. Rural enterprises in Cameroon have significantly lower access to renewable energy than urban enterprises. The study of over 209,000 firms reveals that education, bank credit, microfinance, and formalization reduce this gap. Gender discrimination, sector barriers, and business environment challenges widen it. Improving rural finance access and promoting formalization are key to closing the rural-urban renewable energy divide.
