What are the key aspects to include in an AEA?
3 October 2024
1. City context
Provide an initial overview of the city that includes:
- Location (with accompanying map)
- Geography
- Demography
- Economy
- Political leadership
2. Energy policy and regulatory framework
- Provide an overview of the energy policy and regulatory framework (both at the national level as well as at the local level, with a special focus on the local level).
- A tabulated summary may assist with explaining the policy and regulatory landscape in the local government.
3. Key stakeholders in the energy sector and mandate of the local government for access to energy
- Provide an overview of the governance structure of access to energy, including key actors in the energy sector (including mandates, roles and responsibilities both at the national level as well as at the local level, with a special focus on the local level).
- Outline the mandate of the local government with regard to access to energy.
- Include a stakeholder map or table may assist with explaining the key players in the energy sector in the city.
4. Current state of energy access at the national level and in the local government
- Provide an overview of the current energy access situation at the national level, focusing on the electricity sector and clean cooking situation.
- Details on how much electricity is produced vs consumed, where the electricity comes from as well as details about how people use energy to cook etc. could be included here.
5. Current state of renewable energy at the national level and in the local government
- Provide an overview of the current usage and potential of renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and biomass) at the national level.
- If the information is available, this section should also include detail on the potential for renewable sources of energy (solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and biomass) at the local government level, highlighting the potential that has been exploited already.
6. Current energy access and clean cooking targets and commitments
- Provide detail on the current energy access targets and commitment (both at the national level and at the local level).
- Energy efficiency targets and commitments could also be added where these exist.
7. Data collection strategy and methodology
Provide detail on the primary data collection method, secondary data collection methods, survey objectives, description of the sampling strategy, sample size, survey development, data collection, data validation, data analysis, stakeholder engagements etc. – as relevant.
8. Results from the data collection and its analysis
- Provide detail on the outcomes of the data collection for both access to electricity and clean cooking.
- For access to electricity results, provide key statistics including analysis and discussion on the data analysed, correlating it with income, education level of household head, male/female led household, urban/rural divide, percentage of household income spent on electricity or electricity substitutes, etc.
- For access to clean cooking results, provide key statistics including analysis and discussion around main fuel used for cooking, fuel stacking, urban/rural divide, percentage of household income spent on cooking, amount of charcoal, wood, LPG etc., used per household per month/day to cook, etc.
- The aspects of gender and rural/urban divide in energy access within the city should come out clearly in the findings.
9. Summary of AEA indicators
- Include a summary of the access to energy indicators:
- Access to electricity indicators selected by the local government.
- Access to clean cooking indicators selected by the local government.
- The summary should ideally be in table format which summarises the data filled in the Joint Research Centre reporting template and provides spatial representation.
10. Recommendations and conclusion
- Provide a summary of main points of the baseline assessment.
- Include recommendations for targets and for future studies..
