The School Electricity Access Database for Africa

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

Description

The School Electricity Access Database (SEADB) for Africa incorporates (i) Geographic locations of schools (ii) the estimated electricity access for each school, (iii) the estimated power requirements, (iv) the optimised PV and battery size to meet these requirements, (vi) the costs of the PV systems to be installed (OPEX, CAPEX, LCOE) (vii) the average time of student to walk to the nearest school (vii) the average motorised travel time to the nearest school

Also, the EASDB provides information about schools with access or no access to electricity.
