Finalization of the campaign to investigate energy consumption habits in Madagascar

With the help of its local partner GEOSYSTEMS and the support of the Ministry of Energy and Hydraulics (MEH), IED completed in January 2021 a survey campaign on energy consumption among households and socio-economic infrastructure in Madagascar as part of the Geospatial Study Project of the Electrification  of the PAGOSE programme funded by the World Bank.

The survey, which targeted more than 2,000 end-users of electricity in electrified villages (fokontany) and unconnected households, across the country, is intended to provide accurate rural demand modelling based on the consumption habits of end-users and to assess households' ability to pay in order to better scale electrification works (power lines, mini-solar power plants, biomass or hydro) and optimize access to electricity for the most vulnerable populations.
