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 web page provides a detailed overview of the key elements of a renewable energy business plan/project proposal.
This report identifies the main risks and barriers limiting investment in the energy transition, supplying a toolkit for policy makers, public and private investors, and public finance institutions to scale up their investments in renewable energy.
This journal article describes risks and mitigation strategies in renewable energy investment.
This guide provides an overview of aspects to consider in the development and financing of a renewable energy project, both for public of private promoters and investors.

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 paper explains how minimum energy performance standards for buildings can be implemented effectively while remaining socially just, using a differentiated approach that carefully follows a series of design principles.
This guidance note outlines how cities can tap into a wide array of proven technologies, policies, and financing mechanisms to improve energy efficiency and capture cost-effective energy savings in buildings.
This guidebook helps practitioners adopt a holistic approach to sustainable neighbourhood design, integrating the design of efficient energy, water, wastewater and solid waste systems, and low energy mobility.
Designing for energy efficiency reduces the overall demand for resources to generate energy. This checklist will help to identify key design issues that will demonstrate whether the proposed design will be energy efficient.
