Alongside constantly monitored project level detail on more than 5,500 operating, under-construction and pipeline electricity generation projects you can use Live Data to identify owners, offtakers, financiers and their portfolio of projects.
Live Data subscriptions include access to the Data Tool – a full suite of tools to analyse electricity sector vital statistics and demographics alongside the project pipeline, including past, current and future electricity generating capacity by ownership, connection and fuel type. View five-year fuel and technology pipelines, analyse trends by country from 2010 and compare electricity access stats for 2010-2016. Then create your own tailored data table and download the results.
Statistics in the Data Tool are generated from the ground up, so no figure exists that does not correspond to a power plant on the ground that the Live Data team has investigated. The result is a unique dataset which bypasses the many obstacles facing national and institutional statistics on the continent. Read more about the Data tool
