Abstract We thank Todd et al (2019) for providing their thoughts on Monyei et al (2018) and for opening a debate around the notion of “energy bullying”. However, as we argue in this correspondence, Todd et al (2019) have arguably adopted an unbalanced approach in their criticisms and offer an ambiguous solution. We reinforce our earlier position by providing empirically backed arguments that motivate for more resilient electrification systems and a paced approach to electrifying the global south. We conclude by stressing the need for more tangible contributions that seek to pursue climate protection, electrification of the global south and justice progress side-by-side.
