Methodology
How we score energy gaps.
Scoring Framework
The Energy Opportunity Score (EOS) is a composite index built on the OECD Handbook framework for constructing composite indicators. Three normalised dimensions — Supply Gap (S), Access Equity (A), and Transition Readiness (T) — are weighted and combined.
EOS = wS · S + wA · A + wT · T
Default weights: Supply 35%, Access 40%, Transition 25%. Users can adjust these in the simulator to match their intervention priorities.
Dimension S
Supply Gap
Deficit between installed capacity and peak demand in the district. Higher = greater shortfall.
Default weight35%
Dimension A
Access Equity
Proportion of households without reliable electricity access. Higher = worse access.
Default weight40%
Dimension T
Transition Readiness
Gap in renewable energy adoption vs national targets. Higher = further from transition goals.
