The Madagascar Integrated Energy Access Planning (IEP) Electrification Report provides a geospatial, least-cost strategy to achieve universal electricity access. It evaluates four primary modalities: grid densification, grid expansion, mini-grids (MV and LV), and standalone solar systems (SSS). The report outlines two primary timelines: a baseline scenario for universal access by 2030 and a more conservative scenario for 2040, detailing the technical requirements and financing needed to bridge the access gap for over 18 million people.

The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2019) is a strategic electricity infrastructure development plan for South Africa, designed to balance least-cost electricity supply and demand while considering security of supply and environmental impacts. The document updates the previous IRP 2010–2030 to reflect lower-than-expected GDP growth, declining electricity demand, and the deteriorating performance of Eskom's existing power plants.

The Integrated Energy Plan (IEP) for Malawi outlines a geospatial strategy to achieve universal electricity access by 2030. The plan identifies a need to grow from 750,000 current household connections to 5.5 million by 2030, utilizing a mix of grid densification, grid expansion, mini-grids, and solar home systems (SHS). The report emphasizes the need for lower-cost rural construction standards and international competitive bidding to reduce the significant financing requirements for the national grid.
