The EU’s Joint Research Center (JRC) developed a website to help African governments determine which energy schemes would be best for their needs. The tool allows geographically-based exploratory analysis for off-grid electricity production options within the continent.
The application uses the latest costs of diesel and PV panels, coupled with population figures, infrastructure capacity, and national boundaries to map the cheapest power option for rural electrification.
The JRC is promoting the use of renewable energy technologies in line with its broader view on its Sustainable Energy for All initiative.
