I'm not really sure what 'access to electricity' actually means.

Would it still count as access if the electricity was only available for an hour a day on average? Or would it count if said access comes mostly from privately-owned diesel generators?

If the answer is 'yes' to either question then those numbers are quite accurate.

ESMAP have a good guide for this: https://esmap.org/mtf_multi-tier_framework_for_energy_access

https://mtfenergyaccess.esmap.org/

Might not help in this case but it’s a nice frame work for thinking about energy access.
