Brief description of the data offering
EAE is WRI’s award-winning, Data-driven, Integrated & Inclusive Approach to Achieving Universal Access to Energy for Equitable Development. EAE is the first open-source, online, and interactive geospatial platform that enables clean energy entrepreneurs, energy planners, donors, and development-oriented institutions to identify high-priority areas for energy access interventions. Using spatial data to link energy supply with growing or unmet demand is essential to gaining a better picture of energy access and expanding energy services to those who most need it. Furthermore, EAE functions as a dynamic information system and data repository, reducing software engineering and transaction costs for data providers and users.
