This webpage provides an introduction to smart grids, an overview of recent progress and recommendations for governments and utilities.
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 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 page explains the role of digitalisation in energy transitions, tracks digitalisation progress, and provides policy recommendations.
This blog describes four opportunities for digitalisation to accelerate just energy transitions: smart energy management, decentralized energy systems, climate-resilient farming, and public transport.
