Dataset: Spatial Data Starter Kit for OnSSET Energy Planning in Kitui County, Kenya

This is a set of openly-available data pre-processed to facilitate county-level energy planning using the Open Source Spatial Electrification Tool (OnSSET) in Kitui County, Kenya. It provides a ready-to-use starter kit of data inputs for county-level OnSSET analysis. The work to identify these data is submitted for publication - publication details will be added here as soon as possible upon release. These data are contained in spatial data files used to create the input for OnSSET in Kitui, and a prepared CSV data input for OnSSET in Kitui (kitui_OnSSET_data). The following spatial data files are included in the dataset:

kitui_admin: A vector (.geojson) file containing the administrative boundaries of Kitui county. 

kitui_clusters: A vector (.geojson) file locating population clusters generated in data processing for OnSSET.

kitui_demand: A raster (.tif) file containing merged health, agriculture, commercial, and residential demands for Kitui county in kWh.

kitui_elevation: A raster (.tif) containing elevation information.

kitui_GHI: A raster (.tif) file containing global horizontal irradiance data for Kitui county.
