This guidance note outlines the advantages and risks of pumped storage hydropower projects, and provides advice for how projects can be structured and funded.
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.
