Abstract
This paper introduces the methods and data used in Energy Access Explorer, the online, open-source, interactive platform that analyzes spatial data related to energy supply and demand and a population’s unique attributes. Location specific resource availability and infrastructure data are used to indicate energy supply, and demographic data and data on the social and productive uses of electricity help visualise demand. Together, these supply and demand indicators enable more comprehensive and geographically targeted energy planning not only for energy planning institutions but also for clean energy entrepreneurs and development finance institutions and donors.
