Mapping Off-Grid Energy Needs in Rural Communities in Nigeria: A Data-Driven Approach for Decentralized Rural Electrification

Chhinyere Igbokwe · 2025 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Summary. This paper uses data-driven methods and the Energy Access Explorer tool to map off-grid energy needs across rural Nigerian communities. The approach identifies where decentralized electrification solutions can best serve unelectrified populations, providing evidence to guide rural energy infrastructure planning and deployment.
