The data provides information about the development of the Gas Pipeline project for West Africa, including the gas station at each Member state. Data was compiled by ECREEE from the West African Gas Pipeline Company’s (WAPCO).

Density of identified off-grid households in ROGEP countries by 2023, per country administrative boundary level 1. The households could have access to electricity through off-grid solutions by 2023 according to the least-cost analysis conducted in the framework of the off-grid solar market assessment and private sector support facility design, which was done as an activity of the sub-component 1A of the Regional Off-Grid Electrification Project (ROGEP).

Data provides information about novel potential bio-energy crops which can or could be grown and processed in the future in the 15 ECOWAS countries. The project “Regional potential assessment of novel bio energy crops in fifteen ECOWAS countries” was started by the different project partners (ECREEE, UNIDO and QUINVITA) based on the need to make an overall assessment of a series of novel potential bio energy crops which can or could be grown and processed in the future in the 15 ECOWAS countries. This project fits in a broader strategic analysis of alternative energy needs and production, the key mandate of the mainfunding partner in the project, ECREEE. The project partners deliberately excluded conventional “bio energy” crops like sugarcane, oil palm, maize or sunflower as target crops, since they believed a sufficient knowledge base on the growing and processing crops was available globally and in the region. The novel bio energy crops chosen as targets for the study are a selection of crops for which either the agricultural knowledge is still limited and/or the use of the crop as an energy source is relatively new. The project team realizes that the list of selected crops is not an exhaustive list of potential bio energy crops and other novel crops may have a potential in the region. The project will develop a methodology that can be followed in the future for analyzing the potential of other crops and does not want to exclude this analysis in the future. The crops that have been selected for analysis in this project are: False Flax (Camelina sativa), Crambe (Crambe abyssinica), Cassava (Manihot esculenta), Castor bean (Ricinus communis), Cashew (Anacardium occidentale), Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), Jatropha curcas and sweet sorghum (sweet version of Sorghum bicolor).

Data provides an estimated framework of the current railway network in the ECOWAS region

Location of settlements that could be connected to national electricity grids in 2023 according to the least-cost analysis conducted in the framework of the off-grid solar market assessment and private sector support facility design, which was done as an activity of the sub-component 1A of the Regional Off-Grid Electrification Project (ROGEP).

The resource was developed by NEXANT (EEUU) for ECREEE.using 3TiER global solar dataset with an annual temporal resolution. The project was funded by USAID. This parameter is of particular interest to photovoltaic installations and includes both Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DIF). The format is raster (.geotiff) and the resolution is 3km.

The resource was developed by CENER (The National Renewable Energy Center, Spain) for ECREEE. High resolution data of 1km x 1km developed using Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model from hourly meteorological weather files of over 10 years. Dataset is provided in raster format (.geotiff) at a resolution of 1 km. It ranges from 1200 to 2800 KWh/m2/year. Around 87% of the total surface of the ECOWAS region has long term annual DNI values greater than 1800 KWh/m2.
