Multi-dimensional Energy Poverty Index – Scale matters MEPI at 1st administrative level (left pane) in India compared with SE4ALL countries (right pane) Note: provisional results Honduras India Kenya Tanzania Delhi Bihar Nagaland 0.000.100.200.300.400.500.600.700.800.901.00MEPI 6 Comparing to IEA (EDI) MEPI and EDI are complementary –  EDI measures energy system towards modern fuel; MEPI measures energy poverty Final remarks • Major barriers:  – data paucity, quality/consistency; – lack of appropriate tools;  • National statistics mask significant, and not unimportant, discrepancies; provide ‘big picture’, but might entail limited policy insights  • Useful areas of synergy with HDI, IEA, WEF, etc.    7 8 Resources • Nussbaumer et al. 2011.
