text description: OnSSET has been designed for identifying least-cost technology options to electrify areas presently unserved by grid-based electricity and to estimate associated investment needs related to electrification. OnSSET uses energy-related data and information on a geographical basis such as settlement sizes and locations, distances from existing and planned transmission network, power plants, economic activity, local renewable energy flows,road network, nighttime light etc.
