Clean Energy Access Tool
The Clean Energy Access (CEA) is an analytical tool developed to provide geospatial context to electricity access in Africa, and specifically to factors that influence the deployment of decentralised renewables in Sub-Saharan Africa
The CEA tool focuses on rural population and social infrastructure with minimal or no access to electricity.
By providing reliable high-resolution geospatial data on energy access in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Clean Energy Access Tool can be of interest to both institutional and private stakeholders in the energy sector, such as policy makers, international donors, governments, and philanthropic investors
Multiple visualization modes are proposed to analyse access to electricity and context (population distribution, grid infrastructure, social infrastructure, power stations and energy resources):
- a) The user can define an area (polygon) of interest
- b) The data are aggregated at national and/or subnational level
- c) Continental base maps from the Africa Knowledge Platform can be visualized to support contextualisation
