"The insights derived from the model are expected to play a crucial role in the next Africa Energy Outlook and Africa-related work, particularly by enriching our least-cost electrification strategies. When we applied the model to areas with electricity access in the initial countries under study, it unveiled significant discrepancies between actual electricity usage and prior expectations. Notably, in numerous buildings, the electricity consumption significantly trailed the established benchmarks for basic household electricity needs. Our investigations in Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda showed that a sizable segment of the population, despite being electrified, consumed electricity below the thresholds defined by the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) basic and extended energy consumption bundles. As we expand the analysis to include additional countries, we anticipate further developing these insights. For an in-depth understanding, we encourage consulting our commentary..."
