Want to know whether E is wrong because in E, it looks like schools do not have access to electricity. I think the sentence sounds fine.

You are correct. E means that the schools do not have access, which would changes the meaning. When two sentences are grammatically correct, go with the one that's meaning is closest to the original sentence.
