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.

This workshop report by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) synthesizes discussions from July 2020 regarding the standardization of data for integrated energy planning. It focuses on the use of geospatial least-cost modelling to achieve universal energy access, identifying critical data gaps and quality standards for both electrification and clean cooking planning, and exploring the convergence of these two sectors through electric cooking.

This guide by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) defines and provides a framework for Energy Safety Nets (ESNs), which are government-led mechanisms designed to close the affordability gap for the poorest and most vulnerable people to access modern energy services, including electricity and clean cooking fuels.

The Sierra Leone Energy Transition and Green Growth Plan is an executive summary outlining a strategic roadmap to achieve universal energy access by 2040 and transition to a low-carbon, middle-income economy by 2050. The plan emphasizes the rapid adoption of renewable energy—specifically solar and hydropower—to power key sectors including agriculture, mining, healthcare, and education, while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
