Electricity Access Estimate 2016 1km

Predicted likelihood that a settlement is electrified (0 to 1). The High Resolution Electricity Access (HREA) project leverages high resolution satellite data to generate estimates of electrification access at a higher spatial resolution than ever before. The estimates are derived from the first long-scale analysis of the complete archive of nighttime light imagery from the VIIRS sensor, from 2012–present, tracked against new population estimates based on computer vision techniques identifying all human-built settlement structures.
