Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!

Definitions
- Present electricity demand: Electrical energy consumed by all inhabitants at the time of the site visit.
- Assessed electricity demand: The amount of electricity that customers state they would use if there was electricity at this moment. It can be assessed by conducting surveys on site.
- (Future) effective electricity demand: The demand that is backed by financial resources and can actually be paid by the consumer (influenced by WTP and ATP).
- Electrical load profiles: The electrical load on a certain time axis, which varies according to customer type, temperature and seasonal effects. An average daily load profile gives insights on the peak load which is required for the load forecasting and plant sizing and the energy demand in kWh to forecast demand and revenues.

Guiding Principles
01Consider all factors that determine electricity demand
- Community-based information
- Consumer-based information
02Adjust to local conditions and include the local community
- Use existing data from comparable regions as a basis
- Analysis of local conditions
- Early stage inclusion of local community
- Higher acceptance
- Capacity building
03Efficient appliances are a relevant component in estimating demand
- Off-grid solar products often do better when associated with efficient appliances
- Affect demand estimation and design of the business model
- E.g. CREEDS raises awareness around energy efficient applications to increase the longevity and reliability of their SHS
