Atlas AI Electrification

Atlas AI's Electrification Status layer estimates the availability of access to the electricity grid at a particular location, i.e. the presence or absence of electrification. At any snapshot in time, the Electrification Status is binary - either 'yes' or 'no'.

This data is available in multiple versions in raster format and is updated annually for several geographic regions. Monthly and regional coverage for the current versions are:

  • v2022: 43 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa from 04/2012–12/2021 at 1km resolution

  • v2022 (beta): Six countries in South Asia from 04/2012–12/2021 at 1km resolution

  • v2021: Sub-Saharan Africa from 04/2012–12/2020 at 2km resolution

This data is offered under a restricted license. Please see resource constraints section below for terms and conditions.

Supplemental Information:

Unit of measure: Binary (either 'yes' or 'no')

Flags (including missing value):

  • No-data value: 255

  • Electrified/Non-electrified: 2/1 (v2022) or 1/0 (v2021)
