Popis: This paper presents data for the estimation of the life cycle carbon emission in Kenyan, Rwandan, and Tanzanian grid electricity generation and transmission systems. Data was collected and estimated using the developed life-cycle carbon emission inventory (LCCEI) algorithm implemented through Excel tabs (LCCEI Excel worksheets). The data acquired through the LCCEI modelled parameters (Chambile et al., 2021). The presented dataset shows the results of the developed data collection model. The activity data were obtained from specialized data sources. Some information was obtained through meetings with relevant institutional actors and experts of national and regional power institutions as well as expert judgement. However, most of the data were also obtained from the reviewed published reputable sources, such as the scientifically indexed conference proceedings and journals. The obtained data are presented in this article and in a Mendeley data repository. The compiled data can also be customised and coded to commonly used evaluation software to enhance its open use by scientists, practitioners, and policymakers at national, regional and global levels.
