The Data
Tracking the Modern Energy Minimum
Explore how countries measure up to the Modern Energy Minimum.
This data is beta 1.0, starting with Africa. We will release estimates for Asia and other regions when available.

Building-Level Electricity Demand, Sample from Kampala, Uganda
Methodology
The Energy for Growth Hub is part of a consortium contributing to the Open Energy Maps platform, including Biospheric AI, UMass Amherst, e-GUIDE, the IEA, and Power Africa. We are developing state-of-the-art geospatial machine learning systems to estimate building-level access and demand. These estimates enable us to develop detailed electricity consumption datasets and track progress toward the Modern Energy Minimum.
