Abstract:
This publication can be used to plan for universal access to clean energy and demonstrates how open source tools can be used to support energy access.
Based on an experiment in the Narok County (Kenya), the study outlines how GIS tools can be used to map energy demand and supply, how to carry out an analysis that links the two, how primary data collection can be used to derive further insights in least-cost electrification modelling, and how to apply these new datasets and analysis results to an Energy Plan. It also addresses one of the biggest barriers to developing energy plans : scarcity of data and insufficient technical capacity. It does so by outlining how GIS data can be aggregated from multiple sources, which are often scattered and siloed, into one platform to use for sub-national energy planning. Contents:
