Releases: ClimateCompatibleGrowth/Starter-Data-Kits
v0.1.0
Welcome to the first official release of the Starter Data Kits (SDKs)! This release establishes a standardized, automated pipeline to help energy planners move from "no data" to "first model" in record time.
By integrating the workflows for OnSSET and OnStove, this repository now serves as a central hub for generating geospatial energy and clean cooking baselines for countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
🌟 What’s Inside?
We’ve moved away from manual data scraping and toward a "Code-First" approach:
Automated Pipelines: Notebooks now fetch data directly from global sources (Global Solar/Wind Atlas, World Bank, OSM) via API.
Model Ready: Scripts to transform raw geospatial rasters into the specific structures required for the Open Source Spatial Electrification Tool.
🛠 Technical Changes
Standardized Directory Structure: Organized by tool (OnSSET/ vs OnStove/) and country codes for easier scaling.
Dependency Management: Added requirements.txt to ensure consistent environments across geopandas, rasterio, and osmnx.
📖 How to Get Started
Go to the main branch of this repository, and click in the colab icon for the tool of interest, a google Colab notebook will open. Follow the instructions and select the datasets to download.
