Description
This webinar marks the culmination of the collaborative Data-Driven Electrification in Africa Programme by the International Energy Agency and Power Africa, which focuses on expediting energy access across the continent. The initiative has yielded two digital tools that bolster the ability of energy planners to make data-informed decisions.
Attendees will be provided with an update on the state of energy access in Africa, along with introductions to the IEA’s GIS Catalogue for Energy Planning in Africa and the Building-Level Electricity Demand Estimation Model. Leveraging GIS, remote sensing, and Artificial Intelligence, this model addresses key planning challenges within the energy sector, offering detailed evaluations of electricity access and demand. This facilitates strategic planning and the effective implementation of electrification projects, contributing to the broader goal of improving energy access across diverse African communities.
