How AI is used
e-GUIDE is a data analytics tool designed for electricity infrastructure planning in developing economies. It provides an API for consumption growth predictions for individual residences and businesses, as well as estimates on grid stability.
The tool is designed for energy companies, utilities, and grid operators working in sub-Saharan Africa and other developing regions. By using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained on satellite imagery and utility datasets, it supports planning processes where historical growth data may be limited.
Buyers should confirm current coverage. While the system provides residential data for Kenya, users should verify availability for other regions such as Uganda and Rwanda.
As a technical API, users will need a development environment or a technical team to integrate the data into their existing energy planning workflows.
Key Features
Consumption Prediction API
Provides building-level electricity consumption estimates for residences and businesses.
CNN-Based Modeling
Uses Convolutional Neural Networks trained with satellite imagery and utility customer data to predict energy use.
Grid Stability Estimates
Provides wide-area, long-term estimates of grid stability using nighttime illumination satellite data.
Geospatial Data Analysis
Uses satellite imagery and data sources to map expected consumption levels across specific grid cells.
Use Cases
Electricity Infrastructure Planning
Supports the planning of power lines or transformers by estimating potential building-level demand.
Grid Stability Assessment
Using nighttime illumination data to estimate reliability across sub-Saharan Africa and South/Southeast Asia.
Residential Load Prediction
Predicting electricity consumption levels for residential customers, specifically within Kenya.
Agricultural Energy Planning
Identifying irrigation clusters via satellite imagery to help plan energy access for agricultural use.
