The suitability maps, contain information on locations suitable for installation of the respective solar systems in accordance with the restrictive criteria adopted. Locations are evaluated according to their suitability for solar systems deployment according to topographical, legal, and social constraints, as well as factors that could facilitate or impede solar generation development. The study is conducted on a regional scale. The results can be used for identification of potential areas of interest for solar generation deployment, and as a support for integration between electricity grid expansion and off-grid electrification policies.

The resource was developed by NEXANT (EEUU) for ECREEE using 3TiER global dataset. The methodology is explained in the resource below available for downloading. Dataset is available in raster format (.geotiff) with a resolution of 3,5 km.

The suitability maps, contain information on locations suitable for installation of the respective wind electricity generation systems in accordance with the restrictive criteria adopted. Locations are evaluated according to their suitability for onshore wind systems deployment according to topographical, legal, and social constraints, and well as factors that could facilitate or impede wind generation development. The present study focus exclusively on land suitability for the installation of onshore wind turbine and wind farm. The study is conducted on a regional scale. The results can be used for identification of potential areas of interest for solar generation deployment, and as a support for integration between electricity grid expansion and off-grid electrification policies. Off-grid installations - practical scenario: Installation NOT connected to the electrical grid, ease of installation maximized

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.

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.
