Abstract:
This paper examines the continuity of Korean energy policy for the last 30 years and consistency of energy policy with other energy-related policies. Because energy policy environment is characterized by high level of uncertainty, long-range planning as well as skillful adaptation to changing environments are both needed. But there are costs the two different approaches must pay. Energy sector has its close connections with economic and environmental sectors. Energy policy-maker should find ways to minimize any conflict between related policies. Economic planning must be designed awaring of the constraints energy sector faces, and energy sector planning inevitably affects environmental quality. And priority among related policy areas must be adjusted according to changing situations. This paper calls policy-makers' attention to consistent policy process in the midst of favorable international energy market and emergence of green movement.

Abstract:
The housing stock has a major share in energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the Netherlands. CO2 emissions increased 2.5% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2018. Higher CO2 emissions were principally due to raised gas consumption for heating in the residential and service sector1. Energy efficiency renovations can contribute considerably in reducing energy consumption and achieving the EU and national energy efficiency targets. However, based on recent research2, the renovation rates in the Dutch social housing sector are not adequate to achieve the energy efficiency targets. Moreover, the deep renovation rates are almost negligible in this sector. The Dutch housing stock consists of the owner-occupied sector and rental sector (social housing and private rental houses) with shares equal to 69.4% and 30.6%, respectively. Considering the major share of the housing sector in energy consumption, the aim of the current study is to evaluate and compare the renovation rates in these sectors and the potential contribution of each one in achieving the energy efficiency targets. By renovation rate, we mean the percentage changes in the number of the identical houses moving from one energy label to the more efficient energy labels. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and Statistics Netherlands (CBS) databases are used to conduct the statistical analysis. The results show that the renovation rates are almost the same in these three sectors, despite the expectation of much higher renovation rates in the social housing sector.

Abstract:
<abstract> <p>Due to the recent climate change, organizations all over the globe are developing plans for reducing carbon emissions by developing clean energy technologies and energy efficient devices. However, the path for transition to green energy system is still unclear and in general, the representation of green energy supply for transition pathways is limited. Therefore, this study outlines a plan for getting Swedish energy sector completely carbon neutral by 2050. The approach can also be applicable to the majority of nations worldwide. Computer based simulations are performed on Energy PLAN software for making clean, green and sustainable energy system that can balance every component of entire energy system during the study period 2022 to 2050. This study takes into account the sustainable use of renewable sources for all economic sectors as well as the interchange of energy with nearby nations under the two scenarios. Additionally, the energy system works in tandem with other industries to create a fully carbon-free environment. The results revealed that, 50% de-carbonization is possible till 2035 and 100% de-carbonization is possible till 2050. This enables a discussion of how ambitious 10-year goals might serve as a first step toward the mid-century elimination of fossil fuels from the energy sector.</p> </abstract>

Abstract:
Come molti altri settori produttivi, anche l'agricoltura deve affrontare una crescente dipendenza energetica da elettricità, petrolio e gas naturale. Tuttavia, l'agricoltura può rispondere direttamente a tali richieste ricorrendo alle fonti di energia rinnovabili (FER), come il solare fotovoltaico (PV) e gli impianti biogas/biometano (BP). Questi sistemi sono stati fortemente incentivati in passato. Gli attuali sistemi d’incentivazione prevedono invece sussidi commisurati alle caratteristiche aziendali come stalle, fienili, disponibilità di biomasse, ecc. Per questi motivi, per quanto riguarda il settore FV, è necessario utilizzare modelli analitici affidabili per valutare l’orientamento e la tecnologia migliore, in particolare per generatori integrati architettonicamente. Per la produzione di biometano, gli impianti di piccole dimensioni risultano quelli maggiormente incentivati previa alimentazione con sottoprodotti agro-industriali. Tuttavia, le loro performance dipendono fortemente dalla tecnologia d’upgrading. Pertanto, le prospettive economiche offerte da questi sistemi RES sono legate alla scelta della tecnologia da impiegare e non più esclusivamente al semplice dimensionamento. Su questa base, l'obiettivo principale di questo lavoro è stato lo sviluppo di strumenti di supporto decisionali (DSSS) per l'ottimizzazione energetica d’impianti FV e BP. Un primo studio si è focalizzato sull’analisi prestazionale per singolo componente e globale d’impianti FV installati in un’azienda agricola. Inoltre, una procedura analitica di ottimizzazione dei parametri d’impianto è stata definita per massimizzare il rendimento elettrico di un generatore integrato architettonicamente rispetto ad un’installazione a terra. Attraverso una serie d’informazioni tecnico-economiche di tecnologie di upgrading, un secondo studio è stato condotto con l'obiettivo di sviluppare un DSS per valutare la marginalità sul reddito aziendale data dall’installazione on-farm di un impianto BP collegato alla rete del gas naturale. I risultati dei due studi hanno dimostrato come questi DSS possono essere utili strumenti per valutare preventivamente le diverse potenzialità offerte da impianti FV e BP in base alle caratteristiche di un’azienda agricola.<br>Like many other productive sectors, even agriculture must tackle an increasing energy dependency on electricity, petroleum and natural gas. Nevertheless, agriculture can directly respond to such request thanks to renewable energy systems (RES) like solar photovoltaic (PV) and biogas/biomethane (BP) plants. These systems have been strongly incentivized in the past. On the contrary, current incentive schemes provide feed-in-tariffs proportionate to farming characteristics as stables, barns, biomass availability, etc. For this reason, as regards the PV sector, it is required to use reliable analytical models for assessing the best orientation and technology, in particular for architecturally integrated generators. For the biomethane production, small-medium plants have stronger incentives in particular using agro-food by-products as feed. However, their performances are strongly dependent on biomethane upgrading technology. Thus, the economic prospective offered by these RES systems are substantially tied to technology choice optimization and no longer solely in simple sizing. On this basis, the main goal of this work is to develop Decision Support Tools (DSSs) for energy optimization both for PV and BP plants. A first study was focused on the analysis of PV plants installed in the same farm. The aim is to examine the impact each plant component has on the PV generator global efficiency and define an analytical procedure for technical parameters optimization in order to maximize the electric yield of an architectonically integrated plant compared to a ground-mounted one. Based on the economic and efficiency features of a biomethane upgrading technology set, a second study was carried out with the aim to design a DSS to assess enterprise-wide profit margins resulting from the on-farm BP plant installation linked to the natural gas grid. The results of the two studies have shown how these DSSs can be useful tools for choosing PV and BP technologies based on farm characteristics.

Abstract:
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Helvetica} Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology enabling digital transactions without the need for central governance. Once transactions are added to the blockchain, they cannot be altered. One of the main challenges of blockchain implementation is how to create a scalable network meaning verifying many transactions per second. The goal of this thesis is to survey different approaches for scaling blockchain technologies. Scalability is one of the main drivers in blockchain development, and an important factor when understanding the future progress of blockchain. The energy sector is in need of further digitalisation and blockchain is therefore of interest to enhance the digital development of smart grids and Internet of Things. The focus of this work is put on a case study in the energy sector regarding a payment system for electrified roads. To research those questions a qualitative method based on interviews with blockchain experts and actors in electrified roads projects was applied. The interviews were processed and summarised, and thereafter related to map current developments and needs in the blockchain technology. This thesis points to the importance of considering the trilemma, stating that blockchain can be two of three things; scalable, decentralised, secure. Further, Greenspan’s criteria are applied in order to recognise the value of blockchain. These criteria together with the trilemma and understanding blockchain’s placement in the hype cycle, are of value when implementing blockchain. The study shows that blockchain technology is at an early stage and questions remain regarding future business use. Scalability solutions are both technical and case specific and it is found that future solutions for scaling blockchain are emerging.

Abstract:
The energy sector plays a vital role in helping developing countries to escape poverty, improve living standards, and narrow the economic gap with developed countries. However, in the developing world, the energy industry faces more challenges that prevent these countries from entirely using energy for economic development. This thesis examines the most vital issues related to the energy sector, including energy inefficiency, energy poverty, and the challenges and opportunities to develop renewable energy. The thesis examines data and context in Vietnam, one of the most resilient developing countries, but the findings could be related to most developing countries. This thesis is structured in the form of four empirical studies. The first study evaluates the impacts on energy inefficiency in the industrial energy sector under three broad aspects, which are (a) government involvement, (b) managerial behaviour, and (c) technology adoption. The study employs the Shephard energy distance function with firm-level panel data of eight major industries to suggest that energy is inefficiently used in all industries. Besides, it found that shared ownership between public and private sectors outperforms state ownership or sole private tenure in energy efficiency. Furthermore, larger firms, import activities, and investment to expand the production line negatively influence energy efficiency. Finally, policy implications are discussed with some highlights towards reducing state intervention in business ownership and energy market regulation. The second study proposes a new energy poverty measure by suggesting an extension for the Exact Affine Stone Index demand system (Lewbel and Pendakur, 2009) to include implied disutility of energy use.1 The disutility occurs from overconsuming dirty fuels or sacrificing other household demands to make clean energy more affordable. These considerations produce a more precise energy-poor indicator for household energy mix consisting of solid biomass and modern fuels. Applying the proposed method, this study found that energy poverty is possible even at income levels that are not financially poor. In addition, higher income levels may not motivate households to substitute traditional energy with cleaner resources entirely. Instead, these households still use solid biomass as a traditional habit and because of its abundance. However, consuming carbon-intensive energy sources does not necessarily mean energy poor. Finally, policy implications recommend that energy policies consider broader subjects rather than focusing solely on financially poor families. In addition, well-off families should be made aware of the health risk of using dirty energy and encouraged to pursue sustainable energy-consuming habits. The third and fourth studies found that solar energy has excellent opportunities to enable Vietnam to move to renewable energy and meet emission reduction targets, but also has challenges that must be addressed. The third study applies survival analyses with the household panel data and discovered that feed-in tariff policy dramatically boosted solar adoption. However, higher power tariffs, which are in regulated price schemes, discouraged solar energy adoption. In addition, the fourth study revealed that rooftop solar energy had a short-term rebound effect. In the long-term, the rebound effects decrease, but households tend to abandon the solar system because households were not instructed to install solar storage to store the outputs and were less attracted by the feed-in tariff to sell solar to the grid. These results signify that solar energy development could be motivated by supportive policies. However, to ensure the desired achievement, policies should be directed to more encouraging feed-in tariff structures and to removing the regulated and subsidised price scheme. Overall, this thesis contributes to the literature by identifying the challenges and opportunities faced by Vietnam and potentially other developing countries. The thesis contributes to policy implications by quantifying the impact factors, suggesting plausible solutions for policymakers to alleviate the obstacles and leverage the chances. Furthermore, this thesis makes significant contributions to the methodological literature. The second study proposed a new method to measure energy poverty. All other studies employ the most recent methods or novel approaches, such as the long-term dynamics of the solar rebound effect.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Dept Account,Finance & Econ<br>Griffith Business School<br>Full Text

Abstract:
Climate change and energy supply limitation are growing concerns. Solving them requires strong implication from our societies and more and more stakeholders and scientists are therefore interested in energy scenarios publication. They indeed provide options to be investigated in order to set the future strategies to tackle these issues. It is within this context that The Shift Project has launched the Scenario project which main purposes are to clarify this specific prospective field and develop a pedagogical energy scenario modeling tool. The Master Thesis work presented in this report is the result of a six months internship in the company within the Scenario project team, and more particularly within the energy scenario modeling tool development team. Beside the energy demand and supply side of a scenario design stands the energy sector. The work focused on this aspect, which corresponds to all the industry and the energy flows standing in between primary energy resources and our final energy consumption. It can therefore be considered as the global conversion process of the energy, which encompasses conversion efficiencies, energy allocation and the different losses. This energy sector is of main concern when one is dealing with energy scenarios since it can contain many possibilities to be investigated in order to set up different variants. Getting a strong knowledge about the energy sector is then crucial. Nevertheless, the global conversion process between primary and final energy still remains a big black box for many of us and therefore prevents us to realize its role and the means that can be applied to explore even further the possible energy scenarios possibilities.    To counteract this observation, this thesis work was dedicated to analyze the energy sector at world scale by revealing its components and the main levers that could be used to shape the future energy system. This analysis was conducted via the system approach and lead to the development of a methodology to model the energy sector and develop a module in which cursors enable an end-user to generate a wide range of scenarios and explore different resources allocation options etc. This module is part of TSP’s energy scenario modeling tool together with a demand and a supply side modules. This work is intended to provide a clear vision of the energy sector and the key parameters that might be of main importance to initiate variants study for energy scenarios prospects, such as power efficiencies, energy mix or distribution losses.

Abstract:
Following established traditions in anthropology and sociology, where cross-border research helps to identify important themes which benefit from comparative study, this dissertation introduces cross-sector policy research as a new methodology for generating useful insights about public policy. The cross-sector method is applied to the study of the UK energy and transport sectors. A range of generic policy developments in the energy sector are identified including: the development of efficiency indicators, scenario analysis, and the establishment of energy efficiency programmes. Such developments have not, as yet, occurred in the transport sector. A structural analogy between energy and transport is developed which is used to generate a range of innovations for transport policy including: gross mass movements and intensities as indicators of the efficiency with which the economy uses transport; the projection of a quantitative scenario of sustainable mobility; and the outline of a transport efficiency programme. The insights from the analogy are generalised to consider the benefits of a wider application of cross-sector policy research to other policy areas.

Abstract:
World energy systems are going through a continuous change. The focus has been shifted from large thermal or hydal power generation to small distributed generation, mainly based upon renewable energy systems. This transition is also backed by some governments. There have also been significant improvements in grid technology, and modern-day smart grid can provide real time bi-directional flow of data i.e. “real time energy deficit and surplus, and also real time prices to both producers and consumers. Smart grid can also accommodate intermittent small suppliers of electricity. This shift in energy generation policy and improvement in grid technology has opened ways for small scale energy producers and consumers to share energy with each other. It has also opened ways to purchase or sale energy to unknown peers over a smart grid. Need has been felt to store these transactions among peers in a secure, non-alterable yet quickly accessible way. Blockchain technology offers to provide this secure, unalterable yet quickly accessible ledger. In this study this transition process and role of blockchain technology for future energy systems has been historically reviewed. It has been found out that on top of keeping record of Peer to Peer transactions, blockchain technology can fill many other purposes. However, technology is still not matured for large scale projects, Research projects are underway to decrease the large time and energy consumption for block building computational processes yet keeping them safe and reliable.

Lynch, Kieran James. "Subseasonal weather forecasting for the energy sector." Thesis, University of Reading, 2017. http://centaur.reading.ac.uk/75150/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the potential application of subseasonal weather forecasts for the energy industry. Power contracts that energy companies buy and sell are subject to price and volume risk. A significant component of these risks is driven by weather variability. Accurate weather forecasts can help increase profits whilst reducing price and volume risk. However, meteorological research to date (in relation to the energy sector) has focused on forecasting up to 10 days ahead, as weather forecasts were traditionally considered to have limited to no skill thereafter. The aim of this research is therefore to show that meteorological forecasts can be used to make quantitative skillful predictions that can reduce risk within the energy sector at the subseasonal timescale. Although there is a large body of literature using NWP model output at lead times up to 10 days, there appears to be no prior research investigating the potential for subseasonal weather forecasts on the energy sector. A three step process was pursued in order to achieve this. Firstly, the forecast skill of wind speed and temperature (two key meteorological variables for the energy industry) was evaluated. Then wind power, demand and power price models were developed allowing the explicit incorporation of weather into the power price. This allowed quantification of the weather related skill and impacts on the power price and subsequent evaluation of applications that are contingent on the power price. These applications were evaluated using the forecasts to inform trading strategies in an effort to increase profits and reduce risk. The first section of research demonstrates that there is forecast skill of wind speed and temperature within the ECMWF monthly forecast model up to week 3 weeks ahead (Le. a weekly average over a lead time of day 14-21). The ECMWF model demonstrated cor¬relations of approximately 0.6 for the operational forecast and 0.3 for the hindcasts when forecasting week 3 UK winds speeds. Similar results were found for temperatures. By using the weather information from the ECMWF monthly forecast, skillful predictions of UK wind power, demand and electricity price were obtained for week 3 during the winter period over the years 2008 to 2014. Anomaly correlations in the range of 0.5-0.6 and CRPS skill scores of 0.10-0.16 were obtained for all three of these variables when comparing the subseasonal forecast with a forecast based on climatological weather in¬formation. The added value of using the subseasonal weather forecast information for a number of trading strategies was evaluated. A speculative trading strategy using the subseasonal weather forecast to value futures contracts demonstrated that positive re¬turns were achieved when systematically trading over 5 winters. When choosing the volume of power to buy in order to hedge retail demand risk, it was found that in some instances the subseasonal forecast outperforms the version using climatological weather to hedge the risk. The final conclusion is that skillful subseasonal forecasts of the meteorological variables exist and this skill propagates through to the energy system variables (wind power, demand and price) which should allow a range applications within the energy sector to potentially reduce risk.

Abstract:
Climate change is one of the global challenges of our time. The energy sector is at the focus of the European efforts to combat climate change as it accounts for 80% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union. Buildings, on the other hand, represent 40% of the energy use and 33% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union, giving the buildings sector also a key role in the European climate strategy. There are, at the same time, strong interdependencies between the energy and buildings sectors due to the high amount of energy used by buildings and their rising importance as active components in the future energy systems. These interdependencies do not only influence the investment decisions in the energy and buildings sectors, but also the effectiveness of the European climate strategy. Cooperation between the energy and buildings sectors can create beneficial outcomes for the both sectors as well as the environment. It may also encourage innovation, improve the energy performance of buildings, and help achieve a higher penetration of renewable energy into the energy system. This licentiate thesis investigates the relationship between the energy and buildings sector at the inter-company level. Presenting the data collected from interviews and a web survey answered by the energy and buildings sectors in Sweden, this thesis examines the level of cooperation between these two sectors, discusses trust issues between stakeholders, presents the factors that negatively impact cooperation, and provides recommendations for the minimisation of these factors. The findings presented in this thesis indicate an insufficient level of cooperation between the energy and buildings sectors in Sweden, to which the following factors have been identified to contribute in a negative a way: district heating monopolies; energy efficiency in buildings; building regulations; self-generation of electricity; and energy use patterns. The emphasis on self-interest by stakeholders within the both sectors appears to create trust issues between stakeholders. Accordingly, shifting the focus from self-gains to mutual gains is deemed necessary to improve the cooperation between the energy and buildings sectors. This, however requires significant changes in current practices and business models. It has been identified that the development of smart energy systems that allow a closer interaction between the energy and buildings sectors through flexible energy supply and use would minimise many of the factors that negatively impact cooperation.<br>Klimatförändringen är en av de stora globala utmaningar vi står inför. I Europa läggs idag stort fokus på energisektorn, som står för 80 procent av det totala utsläppen av växthusgaser. Byggnader representerar 40 procent av energianvändningen och 33 procent av växthusutsläppen, vilket också ger byggsektorn en nyckelroll i den europeiska klimatstrategin. Samtidigt finns det starka beroendeförhållanden mellan energi- och byggsektorn på grund av den höga energianvändningen i byggnader och deras ökade betydelse som en aktiv komponent i det framtida energisystemet. Dessa beroendeförhållanden påverkar inte bara investeringsbeslut i de båda sektorerna, utan även effektiviteten i den europeiska klimatstrategin. Samarbete mellan energi- och byggsektorn kan få positiva effekter för både dem själva såväl som för miljön. Samarbete mellan sektorerna kan även uppmuntra innovation, förbättra energieffektiviteten i byggnader och tillåta en högre användning av förnyelsebar energi i energisystemet.  Denna licentiatavhandling utforskar förhållandet mellan energi- och byggsektorn på företagsnivå genom att analysera data som samlats in med hjälp av intervjuer och en webbaserad enkät.  Intervjuer och enkäter har besvarades av både energi- och byggsektorerna i Sverige. Denna avhandling studerar nivån av samarbete mellan de två sektorerna, diskuterar problem gällande förtroende mellan intressenter, presenterar de identifierade faktorer som försvårar samarbete och ger rekommendationer för att minimera dessa. Resultatet visar på en otillräcklig nivå av samarbete mellan energi- och byggsektorerna i Sverige. De faktorer som försvårar samarbetet är följande: fjärrvärmemonopol; energieffektivitet i byggnader; byggregler, egenproduktion av el och användarmönster. Naturligt finns ett egenintresse hos olika intressenter inom de båda sektorerna, och detta tycks ha skapat ett förtroendeproblem mellan de olika sektorerna Att byta fokus från egen vinning till gemensamma mål bedöms vara nödvändigt för att öka samarbetet mellan energi- och byggsektorerna. Detta fodrar dock stora förändringar både i nuvarande verksamhet samt i affärsmodellerna. Det har påvisats att utvecklandet av smarta energisystem som tillåter en större interaktion mellan energi- och byggsektorerna genom flexibel energiförsörjning och användning skulle minimera många av de faktorer som inverkar negativt på samarbetet.

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to the energy literature by leveraging insights from empirical and experimental economics. The thesis presents four papers with a common goal of understanding specific themes in the energy sector namely: households energy use patterns, behavioural preferences among entrepreneurs operating energy businesses and applications of behavioural nudges to reduce energy use. The first paper set the tone for the two subsequent chapters. The paper: 'Energy Choices and Tenancy in Rwanda' examines the energy choice patterns of households based on their rental status and dwelling types. The fifth Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV5) conducted over one year, October 2016 to October 2017, together with a bivariate probit model is used. A heterogeneous analysis focused on gender and income differentiated impacts, as well as geographical differences based on the tenancy status of households, is further examined. The results signal that households energy choices in Rwanda differ by rental and dwelling types. The second and third papers ascertain the role of competition and risk preferences among entrepreneurs working in off-grid renewable energy microenterprises and its effects on business success in the context of including more women as entrepreneurs in the energy sector. Specifically, the second paper: 'Competition and Gender in the Lab vs Field: Experiments with Off-Grid Renewable Energy Entrepreneurs in Rural Rwanda' examines the gender differences in competitiveness and how this affects the business success of entrepreneurs operating renewable energy enterprises. Results from the economic experiments are compared to the day to day activities of the business. Findings show that female entrepreneurs are not less likely to compete and are not outperformed by male entrepreneurs. This stands in contrast to several studies, mostly conducted on university students of developed countries. The third paper: 'Risk attitudes, Gender and Business Performance Among off-grid Renewable Energy Entrepreneurs in Rural Rwanda' in a similar context examines the risk attitudes among entrepreneurs and its effect on the performance from a gender perspective. The study adopts a choice list experimental approach to elicit risk attitudes. The results indicate a strong risk aversion among entrepreneurs. The risk aversion found is higher for women compared to men. Entrepreneurs with high risk-taking abilities also tend to record better performance levels. The paper concludes that policies geared towards hedging against risk aversion in entrepreneurial programs may be vital in reducing gender gaps in business performance. The fourth paper: 'The power of nudging: Using feedback, competition and responsibility assignment to save electricity in a non-residential setting' answers the question 'can behavioural interventions achieve energy savings in non-residential settings where users do not face the financial consequences of their behaviour?' The paper relies on a randomized control trial and two behavioural interventions. Results show that behavioural nudges can be useful in reducing energy consumption in a non-residential environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Belize faces declining petroleum production as well as electricity costs that are among the highest in Central America. Although it is dependent on Mexico for over 30 percent of electricity supply, Belize has significant renewable energy resources of its own that can help reduce this need (and the high costs to fill it) and increase energy security. The country also has the opportunity to consume energy more efficiently by using innovative technologies. To realize these opportunities, Belize, with the support of a Sustainable Energy Action Plan developed with technical assistance from the Inter-American Development Bank, has developed an energy policy and a strategic plan for the ministry responsible for energy. Collectively, the policy and strategic plan aim to address the barriers that prevent public and private sector entities from using energy more efficiently, as well as those that restrict the development of renewable energy.

Abstract:
The analysis is informed by the particular circumstances and needs of each country, as well as by the goals of key regional energy integration initiatives. The energy sector is referred to here as all economic activities related to the use of renewable and nonrenewable resources for the production, delivery, and consumption of energy in its various forms, such as electricity, heat, or fuels for further processing, as well as the optimization of energy use through energy efficiency and conservation. To approach this complex set of relationships, this document presents the challenges of the sector in the region, recognizing that they are interrelated and have varying levels of importance depending on the country in question.

Price, Roz. Private Sector Investment in the Clean Energy Sector in the Pacific Islands. Institute of Development Studies, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.132.

Full text
Abstract:
Most Pacific small island developing states (SIDS) have ambitious renewable energy targets which call for huge investment, a significant part of which is expected to come from the private sector (IFC, 2021). Although there are around 40 renewable energy projects across the Pacific SIDS either already operating, under construction, or planned for commissioning in the next decade, they are still heavily reliant on imported fuel. Given the huge funding gap in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate objectives in developing countries, private financing has been advocated for as the solution for the shortfall, as it has a large pool of capital available and catalytic properties that could effectively scale-up the “reach” and the scope of influence of public financing (Samuwai, 2021). Private sector partners are particularly critical to supporting SIDS as they often struggle to access international capital markets due to their high debt levels, lack of creditworthiness or small market size (UN-OHRLLS, 2022). However, there is still a general lack of private sector financing in the renewable energy sector in the Pacific SIDS (PIFS, 2018; Samuwai, 2021). Whether private finance mobilisation for clean energy is realistic at the scales needed in the Pacific SIDS is not answered clearly in the literature, although much of it is based on the assumption that there is no real alternative to private sector investment. This rapid review hence explores some of the key drivers, constraints and opportunities to the mobilisation and scale-up of this private sector investment.

Full text
Abstract:
There is an innate and critical relationship between energy and weather, water, and climate. As the deployment of renewable energy, particularly wind and solar energy, increases, so too does dependence on weather and weather variability. Understanding, accounting for, and communicating weather and climate variables is therefore critical for the planning and optimization of the energy system. This puts increasing pressure on the scientific community, and particularly those working on the weather and climate aspects of renewables, to provide the right information to meet the key decision-making needs of the energy sector. This study is the second of two pilot projects on the provision of actionable information for decision-making through the tailored and targeted assessment of weather and climate science. This study confirmed that excellent progress is being made on a variety of fronts associated with renewable energy, which is critically important as we move to increase use of renewables. A consistent theme in the discussions under this study, however, is the need to bring together many disparate types of data, modeling, and analyses toward convergent tools that adequately address the complex interconnectedness of a national power system built on renewable sources. In many ways, the most significant finding of this study is the need for major convergence research efforts to build the necessary historical reanalysis datasets, integrated weather-energy forecast models, and policy and regulatory frameworks that can leverage current disciplinary research efforts.
