There has been a rapid expansion in the use of geospatial data and technology to support decision-making within the energy access space in the past decade. Open-source solutions make an essential contribution toward achieving universal access to energy services by enabling a data-driven approach while also preserving resources and limiting over-reliance on technical expertise.
This four-part webinar series introduces open-source geospatial solutions across various dimensions of energy access, including resource assessment, demand assessment, integrated planning, and sector-specific applications. The tool developers will present the background and objectives of their work, along with the features and impact that each tool offers. Together, the sessions intend to recognize the importance of open-source tools toward achieving sustainable development goals, facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange between the different tool providers, and provide improved guidance for potential users to identify the most appropriate tools for their needs.
Panel Speakers participating organizations: Royal Institute of Technology (KTH); World Bank; World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP); The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA); PyPSA meets Africa; MIT Climate & Sustainability Consortium (MCSC); International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA); European Union Joint Research Centre; University of Massachusetts Amherst; Deloitte for USAID and World Resources Institute.
