JRC is excited to introduce the Clean Energy Access Prioritiser (CEAP), a decision support tool now available for the entire African continent. CEAP is designed to guide decision-making for clean energy interventions and investments by identifying the most feasible areas for projects. This web-based platform integrates environmental, climate-related, and socio-economic factors, allowing stakeholders to prioritize areas based on their specific needs and goals. By combining 25 key variables and using a 5 km grid, CEAP helps pinpoint areas with the greatest potential for clean energy projects and those where challenges may be more significant. The CEAP tool aims at enabling policymakers and community leaders to make more informed decisions, targeting their efforts and resources where they are needed most. This can lead to clean energy reaching more people, faster and more sustainably. We invite you to explore CEAP and learn more about its capabilities. The tool is accessible here, and a detailed overview of its development is available in an open-access, peer-reviewed paper.
