Welcome to the Total Energy Wiki!

What is this about?

Current prominent energy access data collection systems are driven by national governments and international organisations such as the IEA and IMF with definitions based upon supply-side indicators. Practical Action set up a Total Energy Wiki, an online data collection system enabling people, projects and organisations to participate and contribute to collecting energy access data. It is intended to be a kind of grassroots and social media compatible data collection system which could complement existing data collection systems.

Total Energy Access and Energy Supply Index

In the PPEO 2010, Practical Action proposed a new set of energy access indicators for measuring household energy access; Total Energy Access (TEA) and the Energy Supply Index (ESI). TEA is defined by a set of minimum standards for five key energy services at point of use, and the ESI defines the supply side quality.

The Total Energy Access Minimum Standards for a household are:

Energy service
Minimum standard
Lighting
300 lm for a minimum of 4 hours per night at household level
Cooking and water heating
1) 1 kg woodfuel or 0.3 kg charcoal or 0.04 kg LPG or 0.2 litres of kerosene or ethanol per person per day, taking less than 30 minutes per household per day to obtain
2) Minimum efficiency of improved solid fuel stoves to be 40% greater than a three-stone fire in terms of fuel use
3) Annual mean concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5) < 10 μg/m3 in households, with interim goals of 15 μg/m3, 25 μg/m3 and 35 μg/m3
Space heating
Minimum daytime indoor air temperature of 18ºC
Cooling
1) Households can extend life of perishable products by a minimum of 50% over that allowed by ambient storage
2) Maximum apparent indoor air temperature of 300 C
Information and communications
1) People can communicate electronic information from their household
2) People can access electronic media relevant to their lives and livelihoods in their household
