This is a ‘landscape and market sizing report’ developed to inform the design of a gender-responsive results-based financing (RBF) programme for PUE appliances. It investigates the impact of energy access on women, identifies the appliances that generate the greatest benefits for women, summarizes learnings from previous RBF programmes, and estimates the market size for gender-responsive … Continue reading “Results Based Financing for Productive Use Appliances to Promote Gender Outcomes”
This policy brief discusses why PUE projects should adopt a gender-responsive approach to enhance their effectiveness, as gender blind PUE initiatives are more likely to benefit men than women. It explains how gender-responsive approaches benefit both men and women, and provides policy recommendations for maximizing those benefits.
GET.invest is a programme funded by the EU and several of its member states, that mobilises investment in renewable energy in low- and middle-income countries, including by providing coaching to renewable energy companies and linking them with investors. This report assesses the current state of PUE finance, highlights challenges to scaling up investment in PUE, … Continue reading “Financing and Scaling Productive Use of Energy: Challenges and opportunities for catalytic growth”
This Energypedia article explains how to undertake a PUE assessment as part of a mini-grid development project, to evaluate the potential and feasibility of different types of PUE to support community income generation and mini-grid viability.
This fact sheet provides a quick overview of different PUE technologies and business and financing models, as well as their socio-economic and sustainability impacts, and their upscaling potential.
This international baseline study sets out the current state-of-the-art on the introduction of EMobility and identifies potential entry points for women to benefit and become more involved in this transition.
This report provides answers to three critical questions: Why should developing countries pursue e-mobility? When does an accelerated transition to electric vehicles (EVs) make sense for developing countries? How can governments make this transition happen?
This report highlights the importance of sector coupling as a key source of flexibility that cities can explore to stabilise power grid operations when integrating high shares of variable renewable energy sources. It presents a range of sector coupling opportunities available for use in cities, including self-consumption of variable RE sources, the role of thermal … Continue reading “Sector Coupling in Facilitating Integration of Variable Renewable Energy in Cities”
