Energy data.
African context.
Better decisions.
We connect energy data with the real cost and performance of energy services—helping businesses, investors and institutions decide what to build, finance and improve.

From evidence to action
Find it. Understand it.
Put it to work.
Our first area of focus is the economics and performance of energy services. We begin in Uganda, with methods designed to travel.
Ask the question that matters.
Connect evidence with the economics and practical realities of delivering useful energy services.
Read our thinking
Make the next step clearer.
Define the problem, examine the evidence and identify what needs to be known before acting.
Discuss an assignmentMeasure the service.
Understand the system.
A connection, a sale or a funding announcement is a beginning. Grid asks what follows: what people pay, whether a service works, and what it takes to keep it working. We are building that record through open-source research, economic analysis and carefully designed primary observation.

Perspective / Energy services
A connection is the beginning, not the outcome.
Why the next question is whether people can afford, maintain and keep using an energy service.
