Replication code to produce High Resolution Electricity Access indicators.
The High Resolution Electricity Access (HREA) project led by University of Michigan Professor Brian Min aims to provide open access time series indicators of electricity access and reliability across the world. Electrification metrics are computed via statistical methods utilizing multiple geospatial data sets and nighttime satellite imagery.
This GitHub repository contains code to recreate HREA output from publicly available inputs. This repository is currently under development; for previous code, please see the earlier repository at https://github.com/zachokeeffe/nightlight_electrification.

The HREA project was made possible through the support and partnership of the World Bank, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Microsoft AI for Earth, United Nations Development Programme, National Science Foundation, and the University of Michigan's Advanced Research Computing division.
