This executive summary gives a brief overview of global solar PV supply chains, with a lot of data and interesting visuals.
This report dispels myths about geopolitical issues around the need for critical materials for the energy transition, and concerns about dependency.
Wind farms tend to be large projects built in relatively remote areas, and in the past, they have often generated more disturbance than benefits for local communities. This World Bank report discusses models that allow host communities of wind energy projects to benefit more from those projects.
This is Energypedia’s Wind Portal. It provides an overview of wind energy technology, preparatory studies needed to plan a wind energy project, wind energy policy frameworks, and wind energy project implementation, operation, MEL and impacts.
This guide by the Covenant of Mayors of Sub-Saharan Africa shows that urban planning tends to be gender blind, with the design of urban street lighting as a key example. It provides a manual, aimed at African cities, on how to develop gender-responsive public lighting projects.

This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in wind energy, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
This report explores ways to identify and mitigate energy transition investment risks in the low- and middle-income countries, pointing out 1) that better energy planning can attract greater investment in renewable energy, 2) that sustainable fuels will play an important role in delivering the energy transition, and 3) that the social dimensions of the transition … Continue reading “A Just and Inclusive Energy Transition in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies: Energy Planning, Financing, Sustainable Fuels and Social Dimensions”
This article explores how system planning, and in particular assessments of system adequacy, will need to innovate and evolve to allow power systems to keep delivering secure and affordable electricity supply during energy transitions.
This report examines the critical role of modeling for transmission planning for energy transitions.
This paper focuses on strategies, policies, and programs that industry and government can develop to ensure that supply chains for EVs and their batteries are secure, circular, and reduce the need for mining virgin minerals, thus reducing adverse impacts on the planet and its people.
