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 brief shares learnings about mainstreaming gender in energy policies, based on the process through which the Government of Kenya developed its Gender Policy in Energy.
This is a good practice example of a gender policy for a national energy ministry.
This article assesses the effectiveness of gender audits to mainstream gender in energy policy.
This report provides concrete instructions on how to develop a gender-sensitive energy policy.
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 brief explains UNDP’s framework for inclusive digital transformation in support of the SDGs
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.
This study critically assesses the policy and regulatory frameworks for the digitalisation of energy systems in support of energy transitions in Nigeria and South Africa.
