Collection: GIS-RE : Geo-Information System for Renewables 

Description

Spatial extent of existing and planned electricity grid. A new electricity grid layer was compiled by using multiple sources that enumerates elements of the existing transmission and distribution network. These sources include Open Street Map, the Word Bank datasets, Arderne et al., the Economic Community of West African States Observatory for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, and from rural electrification agencies/EU delegations in Africa (Burkina Faso, Kenya, Tanzania).
