Uses historical demand/GDP|PPP & or Urbanization trends based on world bank data for linear regression
-Projects country-level demand by making use of SSP GDP|PPP, Population and Urbanization data
-Projected demand downscaled to sub-country level by using relative 2015 PLEXOS World demand data as proxy
-Urbanization can be in/excluded in the linear regression
-Inclusion of urbanization indicates a better fit
Improvements to be made;
-Outlier removal
-Linear regression based on regional values can lead to <0 values for certain countries
