This tool was developed to support private and public actors in Tanzania to quickly and accurately prioritize villages by their potential for off-grid electrification, based on information such as population density, distance to grid, solar resource and others.
The menu on the left provides access to further information about the tool, links to data sources and outputs, and filters to refine the results displayed in the tool.
In addition to this tool, detailed house-hold level maps are being created of almost every rural village in Tanzania. This data will become visible in this tool as it is created and added to OpenStreetMap.
Tool development was supported by the Reiner Lemoine Institut, INTEGRATION environment and energy, and the Humanitarian Openstreetmap Team.
