Advancing Universal Energy Access: Data-Driven Solutions , and Critical Importance of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Öz

This critical review paper presents a general overview of the challenges to attain universal energy access and the promise of emerging potential solutions. The barriers to deployment of energy access are described followed by pathways to towards potential solutions. Recommendations include a primary focus on an interdisciplinary approach supported and introduce a novel concept: the "Data in Energy Platform," which leverages data and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve energy access solutions.
