About this dataset

The HREA project aims to provide open access to new indicators of electricity access and reliability across the world. Leveraging satellite imagery with computational methods, these high-resolution data provide new tools to track progress toward reliable and sustainable energy access across the world. This dataset includes settlement-level measures of electricity access, reliability, and usage for 89 nations, derived from nightly VIIRS satellite imagery. Specifically, this dataset provides the following annual values at country-level granularity: 1. **Access**: Predicted likelihood that a settlement is electrified, based on night-by-night comparisons of each settlement against matched uninhabited areas over a calendar year. 2. **Reliability**: Proportion of nights a settlement is statistically brighter than matched uninhabited areas. Areas with more frequent power outages or service interruptions have lower rates. 3. **Usage**: Higher levels of brightness indicate more robust usage of outdoor lighting, which is highly correlated with overall energy consumption. 4. **Nighttime Lights**: Annual composites of VIIRS nighttime light output.

Ethiopia NightTime Light

This dataset presents high-resolution satellite-derived Nighttime Lights (NTL) imagery of Ethiopia,a resolution of approximately 5000 mettres ,  acquired from NASA’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). NTL data captures the intensity and distribution of artificial lighting, serving as a proxy for human settlements, infrastructure development, and economic activity.
