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 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 considers the challenges faced by developers implementing renewable energy projects in the SADC region, analyzes existing prefeasibility or early-stage project preparation funds in the region and globally to assess if they effectively support project developers, and provides recommendations on how to improve and scale up these facilities.
This slide deck provides a quick overview of the required steps in developing a concept for a renewable energy project.
This slide deck provides a quick overview of tips to enhance the chance of success of grant proposals for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
This toolbox provides key resources for the development of solar projects, including on policy (US-focused), project economics, contracting, financing and the project development process.
This slide deck provides a quick overview of the process for the development of energy projects by indigenous groups, including tips on choosing an optimal site, ownership structures and financing structures.
This report brings together the latest data and information on batteries from around the world, including recent market developments and technological advances. It also offers insights and analysis on leading markets and key barriers to growth, and identifies synergies and potential bottlenecks across different sectors and parts of the supply chain.
