Abstract

Contains data from the World Bank's data portal. There is also a consolidated country dataset on HDX.

The world economy needs ever-increasing amounts of energy to sustain economic growth, raise living standards, and reduce poverty. But today's trends in energy use are not sustainable. As the world's population grows and economies become more industrialized, nonrenewable energy sources will become scarcer and more costly. Data here on energy production, use, dependency, and efficiency are compiled by the World Bank from the International Energy Agency and the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center.

Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2026-03-27. Geographic scope: ERI.

Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by Electric Sheep Africa.

Variables

Geographic — country_name (Eritrea), country_iso3 (ERI), year (range 1970.0–2023.0).

Outcome / Measurement — value (range 0.0–406566633.1415).

Identifier / Metadata — indicator_name (Adjusted savings: mineral depletion (current US$), Combustible renewables and waste (% of total energy), Electric power transmission and distribution losses (% of output)), indicator_code (NY.ADJ.DMIN.CD, EG.USE.CRNW.ZS, EG.ELC.LOSS.ZS), esa_source (HDX), esa_processed (2026-04-16).

Quick Start

from datasets import load_dataset

ds    = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-world-bank-energy-and-mining-indicators-for-eritrea")
train = ds["train"].to_pandas()
test  = ds["test"].to_pandas()

print(train.shape)
train.head()

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (N/A, null, none, -, unknown, no data, #N/A) were unified to NaN. The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

Limitations

• Data originates from World Bank Group and has not been independently validated by ESA.
• Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
• Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
