This document discusses resource mapping and assessments for renewable energy in the Central and East Africa Corridor (CEC). It outlines the benefits of mapping renewable resources at a system level, including lowest costs, high renewable energy shares, and dealing with variability. Key renewable resources in the CEC like wind and solar are mapped at various resolutions. The document advocates for a long-term strategic approach to resource assessments and measurements in the CEC to help attract private sector investment and support renewable energy development.
