Africa has installed wind capacity of just 9 GW – less than 1% of the global total. However, there is increasing recognition of both the benefits of wind energy and Africa’s enormous potential, and the Global Wind Energy Council expects this capacity to grow by 900% in the coming years. This presentation by the International […]
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 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 […]
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 web portal provides an extensive introduction into the Bolivian renewable energy sector, policy, financing and more.
This report highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits that energy and transport sector-coupling and a transition towards EV- and RE-based, efficient systems can create in small island settings, and provides tools for the planning of such a transition.
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 is an interactive database of nearly 600 individual technology designs and components across the whole energy system that contribute to achieving the goal of net-zero emissions
This database contains information on solar home systems, pico-PV products and efficient appliances that have been tested and certified by Lighting Global’s Verasol.
