Multi-criteria Analysis for Planning
Renewable Energy (MapRE)
• Identify cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, and
socially-equitable RE zones.
•Inform long-term transmission planning and leverage existing

and planned electricity infrastructure.
•Apply consistent approach across Southern and Eastern

African Power Pools to promote power trade and greater
regional integration.

RE zoning study in the larger context

LBNL MapRE Methodology
Combine multi-criteria spatial decision-making with energy economics.

1. Potential wind, solar PV, and solar CSP RE technologies zoned;
planned and existing geothermal plants mapped.
2. Mapped existing and proposed transmission and substation
infrastructure.

KEY RESULTS – Spatial unevenness & interconnections
The abundant yet uneven high quality wind, solar PV, and CSP resources
demonstrate the importance of regional collaboration and grid interconnection.
Total LCOE of RE zones
Solar
Wind PV CSP

KEY RESULTS – Wind capacity value
Consideration of wind capacity values substantially increases the geographic
distribution and abundance of favorable wind zones.
Adjusted capacity
Annual average
factor in the top
capacity factor
10% of annual
demand hours

KEY RESULTS – Siting for multiple objectives
Many countries with sufficient renewable energy potential can develop zones that are
cost-effective and have low environmental impact.
This is also true for proximity to load centers and transmission considerations.

Total LCOE footprint score
(USD/MWh) (100 – most
impact, 0 – least
impacted)

KEY RESULTS – CSP water availability
Considering access to surface water, for
cooling or cleaning, considerably reduces
the number of suitable zones.

KEY RESULTS – Co-location opportunities
Many zones are suitable for the
development of multiple RE
technologies, which may improve
transmission capacity utility, minimize
land use, and increase return on
investment.
