  • In addition to setting an overarching energy access vision, smaller targets and sub-targets should also be set for the two categories of access to energy assessment (Access to Electricity and Clean Cooking)
  • These targets provide valuable focus for what needs to specifically be achieved by the city.
  • These targets and sub-targets should be set for each of the indicators included in the AEA.
  • Targets should also be SMART.
  • As with the energy access vision, energy targets and sub-targets should also take the form of a statement that speaks to a desired future.
  • They should be specific to the category (either Access to Electricity or clean cooking) and not as broad as the overarching vision (they should however directly align to the energy vision).
  • Targets and sub-targets provide additional focus for what needs to be undertaken within the city to enhance access to energy.
  • The targets and sub-targets should at the minimum be aligned with the national targets (if existing) for each indicator.
  • A target of at least 20% increase or decrease (energy savings) is suggested for the indicators if there is no national target.
