Ratings and advisory Firm CRISIL has released a report, warning about the risks in the fresh wave of fuel pumps the government is planning. The warning comes at a time when the government’s own lead advisory, Niti Aayog, is pushing for a faster shift to EV’s. In the report titled ‘Outlet Overkill‘, CRISIL has made a […]
Consistent and market-relevant enabling policies are key to building affordable solar power. Unfortunately, this basic principle has been overlooked as Indonesia has cycled through a patchwork of solar policies that have driven many experienced investors and developers to the sidelines. The proof is in the numbers. Despite having substantial solar resources, Indonesia’s solar policy framework […]
This report assesses the prospects for residential solar, batteries and electric vehicles (EVs) in Britain and Germany. These technologies are expected to be at the center of global energy system disruption in the future, because of declining costs and their close fit with a global energy system increasingly transitioning towards decarbonisation, decentralisation, digitalisation and democratisation. […]
According to a new report, momentum is gaining around an industry shift toward utility-scale battery storage systems nationally in the United States. It highlights that utility-scale batteries are giving renewables a big lift while undercutting coal and challenging fracked gas. The report ‘Advances in Electricity Storage Suggest Rapid Disruption of U.S. Electricity Sector’, details upstart […]
The dip in investment in 2018 can be partly attributed to falling technology costs in solar photovoltaics, which meant that the required capacity could be secured at a lower cost and slowdown in PV installations in China. Global investment in renewable energy has hit $288.9 billion in 2018, with the amount spent on new capacity […]
Every six months, GOGLA and The World Bank Group’s Lighting Global program publish the Global Off-Grid Solar Market Report, a market intelligence series on sales and impact of off-grid solar lighting products, sold by GOGLA and Lighting Global affiliates. Since 2019, the report also includes sales numbers of off-grid appliances, in partnership with the Efficiency […]
Floating solar PV installations open new opportunities for scaling up solar generating capacity, especially in countries with high population density and competing uses for available land. Advantages of floating solar over land-based systems include higher energy yield, reduced evaporation, and improved water quality, among others. Combining floating solar with hydropower plants is of particular interest. […]
The Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2019 shows that despite the progress, reaching the remaining unserved people, including those connected to frail and overburdened urban grids, as well as displaced people, and hard-to-reach locations, will be challenging. An estimated 650 million people will be left without electricity access in 2030. The report tracks global, regional […]
Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE) is built on the premise that policies matter along with good institutions and enforcement. RISE is based on a wealth of empirical evidence which shows that policies and regulations matter when countries are seeking to attract investment and establish a sustainable energy agenda. Therefore, it is relevant to assess […]
