Abstract
Energy Access Explorer (EAE) and QGIS are used to synthesize and analyze over 24 geographic datasets related to demographic information, energy supply and demand, infrastructure, and vulnerability indicators specific to Dominican Republic. Through the application of spatial analysis tools, including multi-criteria analysis from EAE, as well as QGIS, the study aims to overlay and filter these datasets. The primary objective is to identify and prioritize zones where energy resilience initiatives should be explored, contributing to strategic energy planning. Additionally, the study aims to pinpoint areas suitable for piloting microgrids/minigrids, with a dedicated focus on enhancing the reliability of the Dominican Republic's energy infrastructure in the face of climate-driven events. This approach not only emphasizes the importance of resilience but also seeks to provide actionable insights for strategic energy development.
