-scale electrification planning studies have been based on top-down electricity demand targets. Yet, poorly representing the heterogeneity in … the electricity demand can lead to inappropriate energy planning, inaccurate energy system sizing, and misleading cost … assessments. Here we introduce M-LED, Multi-sectoral Latent Electricity Demand, a geospatial data processing platform to estimate …

The economics of electricity is shaped by its physics. A well know example is the non-storability of electricity that … causes its price to fluctuate widely. More generally, physical constraints cause electricity to be a heterogeneous good along … commonly used cost indicators such as "levelized electricity costs" and "grid parity". Heterogeneity is relevant for all …

Universal access to modern energy services, in terms of access to electricity and to modern cooking facilities, has … recent strand of research, trying to fill these gaps. We focus on the demand-side and household perspective. Our main … outcomes of interest are electricity connection and ICS adoption for the analysis of barriers, time allocation, labour market …

Universal access to modern energy services, in terms of access to electricity and to modern cooking facilities, has … review the literature on existing impact evaluation of access to electricity and modern cooking facilities. For access to … electricity we consider as outcomes labour markets, time allocation, household welfare (consumption, income, schooling and health …
