The first step was to model household and community level demand at different tiers of access with a growth rate applied by country linked to projected gross domestic product (GDP) per-capita growth. The second step was to model off-grid systems types at different demand levels for each country; this was done at different levels of energy demand met. The third part of the methods involved processing geospatial data covering the 43 study countries. The final step used the outputs from the first three steps in an open-source scenario-based least-cost electricity access model.
