What is an Access to Energy Assessment?
- The Access to Energy Assessment (AEA) is developed as a dashboard of multiple indicators related to the three attributes (affordable, secure, and sustainable) of access to energy that help to provide a holistic overview of the current condition and context of the local authority.
- It is the first step to enable the local government to set relevant targets and to plan appropriate actions to enhance the access to energy situation.
- It must ideally combine data collected through a household survey with data collected from a desktop research and contact with relevant stakeholders (such as utility companies, national agencies etc.).
Why conduct an Access to Energy Assessment?

It helps to improve the local government’s image

An AEA points out areas to reduce energy consumption costs as well as impacts related to CO2 emissions.

It enables local authorities to build a sound knowledge of the status of their territories and inhabitants, and underpins premises for action.

It makes the city more attractive to international donors and investors, when solid and reliable financial figures are included for the implementation of the identified actions.
