Fig. 1: Major existing water and energy infrastructures (hydropower and transmission lines) in the EAPP, to 2030.

Our integrated spatial river basin–energy system model simulates all infrastructure shown in the figure (in addition to natural lakes and water consumption), except that outside of the eastern part of the DRC. HP, hydropower. The electricity network layer is based on a database from the World Bank Group; the existing hydropower and run-of-the-river hydropower layers are based on a database from Hydroshare; the river and lake layers are based on the Koordinates database; the countries’ boundary layer is based on a database from OpenDataSoft.
