Country Data

This area of the LuminaNET site contains a series of 80 draft Country Lighting Assessments based on a modelling effort that quantifies the magnitude of fuel-based off-grid lighting around the world. Prepared by the UNEP/GEF en.lighten initiative in close collaboration with the Lumina Project at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, these country reports offer estimates of off-grid lighting energy consumption, CO2 emissions and the savings potential for switching from fuel-based lighting to solar LED systems. Taken together, these 80 countries represent 1.33 billion people living in 285 million off-grid households around the world. View Discussions
