SDG Indicator 7.1.1: Access to Electricity, 2023 Release

The SDG Indicator 7.1.1: Access to Electricity, 2023 Release data set, part of the Sustainable Development Goal Indicators (SDGI) collection, measures the proportion of the population with access to electricity for a given statistical area. UN SDG 7 is "ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all". Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress Report estimated that in 2019, 759 million people around the world lacked access to electricity. Moreover, due to current policies and the detrimental effects of the COVID-19 crisis, it is predicted that by 2030, 660 million people will still not have access to electricity, with a majority of these people residing in Sub-Saharan Africa. As one measure of progress towards SDG 7, the UN agreed upon SDG indicator 7.1.1. The indicator was computed as the proportion of WorldPop gridded population located within illuminated areas defined by annual VIIRS Nighttime Lights Version 2 (VNL V2) data. The SDG indicator 7.1.1 data set provides estimates for the proportion of population with access to electricity for 206 countries and 45,979 level 2 subnational Units. The data set is available at both national and level 2 subnational resolutions.

《可持续发展目标指标7.1.1：电力获取，2023年发布版》数据集，作为可持续发展目标指标系列（SDGI）的一部分，衡量了特定统计区域内拥有电力获取权的population比例。联合国可持续发展目标7旨在“确保所有人都能获取负担得起、可靠、可持续和现代化的能源”。追踪可持续发展目标7的进展：《能源进展报告》估计，至2019年，全球约有7.59亿人尚未获取电力。此外，鉴于当前政策和COVID-19危机的负面影响，预计到2030年，仍有6.6亿人无法获取电力，其中大部分居住在撒哈拉以南非洲。作为向可持续发展目标7迈进的一个衡量指标，联合国同意采用可持续发展指标7.1.1。该指标的计算方法为WorldPop网格化population中位于由年度VIIRS夜间灯光版本2（VNL V2）数据定义的照明区域内的比例。可持续发展目标7.1.1数据集提供了206个国家及45,979个二级次国家单位的电力获取权population比例估计。该数据集可在国家和二级次国家两个层面上获取。
