MAED Data Note: Selected socio-economic and technical demand modelling data for Sierra Leone.

This MAED Data Note contains historic annual data on electricity demand (2018 to 2023) segregated by sector (industry, services, households). Additionally, historic social and economic data on population (total, growth, urban-rural split, household size), GDP (total, sectoral split, growth) and electrification are included within this data note. This historic data can be used to create base year energy intensitities used as a foundation for energy demand modelling using the Model for the Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED) simulation software. Two illustrative scenarios are developed alongside a baseline demand projection from 2018 to 2050.  This work was supported by the Climate Compatible Growth Programme (#CCG) of the UK's Foreign Development and Commonwealth Office (FCDO).
