A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE
David A. Raitzer, Nina Blöndal, and Jasmin Sibal
.....
Yet, many evidence gaps remain. Existing impact evaluation effort is mostly concentrated on rural electrification and improved cookstoves, even if most investments are in power generation and transmission. Other important areas of effort, such as energy efficiency, also have little impact evaluation to date. While many studies have evaluated effects of electricity access on education, far fewer have evaluated effects via intermediate services, such as health or agricultural extension facilities, and evidence on firms has remained limited.
With more big data increasingly available, it is hoped that the creative examples identified in this review can help to inspire new impact evaluation studies that address evidence gaps on energy. This work is more relevant than ever, as energy investments increasingly seek to experiment with innovations, high-level technologies, and behavioral change approaches to ensure sustainable, efficient, and inclusive use of energy. Continued efforts on impact evaluation will be critical to ensure that these experiments can be tested to generate evidence to improve energy operations over time. This review helps to show where future impact evaluation investments can best contribute new evidence and how such studies may be approached.
