Abstract:
The Ukrainian energy sector is one of the most inflexible energy sectors in the world as a result of the almost complete depreciation of the equipment of the main sources of power supply: nuclear, thermal, and hydropower. In connection with existing problems, there is a need to develop and use new energy-saving technologies based on renewable energy sources. In this proposed research, a regression model of renewable energy growth in the energy sector of Ukraine was developed. The studied literature reveals that the independent use of individual functioning elements of renewable energy sources function as the primary power source that is not an optimal solution for stable energy supply. This study proposes the use of hybrid renewable energy systems, namely a combination of two or more renewable energy sources that will help each other to achieve higher energy efficiency, accelerate the growth of renewable energy in the share of the Ukrainian energy sector and/or improve functioning with battery energy storages. Moreover, the use of hybrid renewable energy systems in Ukraine will reduce the human impact on the environment, realize the potential of local renewable energy resources and also increase the share of electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Therefore, mechanisms for managing state regulation of stimulating the development of hybrid renewable energy systems have been developed.

Abstract:
The recent surge in publications addressing household energy efficiency and renewable energy highlights their vital roles in managing national decarbonization and green power transition. The study aims to analyze the research trends in this field to comprehend their significance in shaping residential decarbonization changes. Bibliometric and visualization analyses are applied to bridge existing knowledge gaps by focusing on technology and managerial mechanisms for implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy concepts. Leveraging the Scopus database and VOSviewer 1.6.19 software, the study covers energy efficiency publications from 1978 to 2023 and renewable energy papers from 1984 to 2023. The study clusters academic articles in two ways: keyword co-occurrence and co-authorship analyses. The first one reveals the merging of renewable energy and energy efficiency studies, covering sustainable development, heating/cooling mechanisms, and emerging technology trends. While both topics share commonalities like smart grids and the Internet of Things, renewable energy clusters spotlight specific areas such as bioenergy and wind/solar power. Co-authorship analysis highlights a notable increase in countries considering research topics, reflecting growing international collaboration. Leading contributors include the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Germany, and India. This study equips scientists with a systematic understanding of the evolution and latest research trends in managing household energy efficiency and renewable energy transformations. It aids in identifying promising research directions, further advancing these crucial fields. AcknowledgmentsThe publication was prepared in the framework of the research project “Formation of economic mechanisms to increase energy efficiency and provide sustainable development of renewable energy in Ukraine’s households” (No. 0122U001233), funded by the National Research Foundation of Ukraine.

Abstract:
Energy transition requires actions from different sectors and levels, mainly focused on achieving a low-carbon and high-renewable integration society. Among the different sectors, the transport sector is responsible for more than 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, mostly emitted in cities. Therefore, initiatives and analysis focused on electric vehicles integration powered by renewables is currently a desirable solution to mitigate climate change and promote energy transition. Under this framework, this paper proposes a multi-indicator analysis for the estimation of CO2 emissions combining renewable integration targets, reduction emission targets and realistic renewable resource potentials. Four scenarios are identified and analyzed: (i) current situation with conventional vehicles, (ii) replacement of such conventional by electric vehicles without renewable integration, (iii) and (iv) integration of renewables to fulfill emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 respectively. The analysis is evaluated in the state of Maine (United States). From the results, a minimum renewable penetration of 39% and 82%, respectively, is needed to fulfill the emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 by considering 100% conventional vehicle replacement. Different combinations of available renewable resources can reduce emissions by more than 35%.

Abstract:
This paper discusses some considerations and advances a number of proposals about the potential of Agricultural Engineering to contribute to the field of renewable energy, with an emphasis on biomass. Several areas for action are identified. First, general education and teaching of students who will go on to become technicians and professionals in the sector of renewable energies, even though the characteristics of the sectors are still fuzzy. Diffusion of the energy culture, a too often neglected aspect that is however indispensable to sustain the overdue penetration of renewable energies in Italy, is an additional area for action. Another critical area, energy planning, is currently viewed mainly as involving the assessment on more or less wide areas of energy consumption and for the scope of replacing fossil resources with renewables to meet some energy requirements. A more complex, overarching issue is energy efficiency, especially of buildings, which should be a mainstay of the planning process but is in fact not so clearly addressed in development plans for renewables. At this same level, all interactions among production sectors should be assessed, to enhance the role of agriculture, one of the new potential energy-producing sectors and one of the possible prospective suppliers of renewable energy for different final users, from households to the service sector and industry. Agricultural Engineering has the skills needed to implement all these different actions. A role for it in advanced research, i.e. biotechnologies, can and should also be envisaged. Its work in the renewable energy sector should closely involve microbiological, genetic, chemical, agronomic, and animal research to define the goals to be pursued and to implement intuitions. In this way, Agricultural Engineering would increasingly be characterized as Biosystems Engineering.

Abstract:
Europe is in the middle of an energy crisis, exacerbated in large part by skyrocketing gas costs. Renewable energy is critical in this environment for decreasing Europe’s reliance on imported energy; boosting renewables in Europe requires a ‘New Energy Compact’—a coordinated effort throughout Europe to build more renewable energy capacity. The purpose of this research is to examine the structure of renewable energy production in Romania between 2010 and 2020, as well as the green employment produced by the renewable energy sector in Romania between 2010 and 2019. Using the Markov chain approach, it was predicted that in 2025, the hydropower industry’s employees would account for the biggest proportion of the overall average number of workers engaged in the renewable energy production sector in Romania (74.68%). Solar energy production employees will account for 14.31% of the average number of workers in the renewable energy production sector, biomass energy production employees will account for 5.8%, and wind energy production employees will account for 5.2% of the average number of workers in the green energy sector.

Abstract:
German Energy transition could be considered to be one of the most challenging a widescaled reforms, quite capital-intensive, requiring a high level of scientific input, having an influence on other economic sectors and economic entities. Energy reform is intended to increase the energy security level by increasing the share of renewables in its energy portfolio, environmental protection by decreasing the emission into the atmosphere and the level of energy consumption. Since 1990 the share of renewables in the whole energy sector and in electricity sector has been rising steadily. Governmental support, including direct finance, fiscal benefits and creating favorable market conditions for the sector has been expanding for renewable and declining for traditional energy. The costs for renewable energy are more transparent, during those for traditional energy are often hidden and indirectly charge the budget, can emerge later in form of subsequent costs of the climate. However, the system of support itself discloses its imperfection, when its implementation causes an opposite impact or contradiction between several instruments, which are actually aimed to solve one problem. Given the high strategic importance of the goals set, even an evident necessity to revise the mechanism of governmental support doesn't, however, mean that the government doubts the usefulness of the reform.

Abstract:
The integration of renewable energy within the operations of the oil and gas sector has emerged as a pivotal trend driven by environmental concerns, regulatory pressures, and technological advancements. This review explores the current trends, key insights, and future prospects associated with the adoption of renewable energy in the oil and gas sector. Trends indicate a notable shift towards incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydrogen into the traditional operations of oil and gas companies. This transition is motivated by the need to reduce carbon emissions, enhance operational efficiency, and diversify energy portfolios in alignment with sustainability goals. Companies are increasingly investing in renewable energy projects, leveraging their expertise and infrastructure to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the renewable sector. Insights gleaned from ongoing initiatives underscore the multifaceted benefits of integrating renewable energy within oil and gas operations. By deploying renewable energy technologies, companies can mitigate environmental impacts, optimize resource utilization, and enhance energy security. Moreover, the integration of renewables offers potential cost savings through reduced reliance on fossil fuels and access to government incentives aimed at promoting clean energy deployment. Looking ahead, the future prospects of renewable energy integration within the oil and gas sector appear promising yet challenging. Advancements in renewable energy technologies, coupled with declining costs, are expected to accelerate adoption rates and drive widespread implementation across the industry. However, challenges such as intermittency, grid integration, and infrastructure limitations pose significant hurdles that must be addressed through innovation and strategic planning. Furthermore, the evolving regulatory landscape and geopolitical dynamics may influence the pace and scope of renewable energy integration within the oil and gas sector. Policy frameworks promoting renewable energy deployment, carbon pricing mechanisms, and international agreements on climate action are likely to shape the trajectory of the industry in the coming years. The integration of renewable energy within the oil and gas sector represents a transformative trend with far-reaching implications for energy sustainability and corporate strategies. By embracing renewables, oil and gas companies can not only mitigate environmental risks but also position themselves for long-term competitiveness in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

Abstract:
Today the renewable energy sector continues to be one of the most an attractive market for public and private investors. According to the Renewables global future report [1] world gets about 17–18% of its energy from renewables, including about 9% from “traditional biomass” and about 8% from “modern renewables.” In 2011, about 30 countries were getting 20% or more of their total energy from renewables, and some as high as 50%. Countries in this category include Austria, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, the Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Uganda, and Uruguay. The share of energy from renewable sources in gross final consumption of energy reached 15.0% in the European Union (EU), compared with 8.3% in 2004, the first year for which the data is available (Table 1).

The purpose of this thesis is to further examine the market dynamics of M&As in the cleantech and renewable energy industry. This study analyzes the abnormal returns of 273 announced and 54 completed buyout acquisitions that took place between 1997 and 2014. The event study method is used to test if cleantech deals experience higher returns than traditional energy and mining deals, if deal completions display similar effects as deal announcements (which is the unique contribution of this thesis) and if homogenous deals experience higher abnormal returns than heterogeneous deals. The outcomes are that the traditional energy and mining sector outperforms the cleantech sectors in homogenous deals. That deal completions effect follows the announcements effect for 11 out of 15 groups and that homogenous deals outperform heterogeneous deals.

Abstract:
Social entrepreneurship has received increasing attention over the past few decades. This thesis examines social enterprises within one particular context, namely the community-led renewable energy sector. Despite the importance placed on these initiatives, little is known about the way in which they are developed and managed. Utilising theories of social entrepreneurship and innovation, it examines the challenges and key success factors that impact on their development and evaluates the role social enterprises play in the adoption and diffusion of renewable energy. Using a qualitative, case study approach the study presents and discusses findings drawn from 13 social enterprises across Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. Evidence is derived from 37 semi­structured interviews, observational notes and a range of secondary information. A number of important conclusions can be drawn. Significantly the research contributes to the understanding of community energy in Northern Ireland and Ireland. To date these regions have been virtually ignored within the literature. The study also provides evidence of the many differing approaches that exist in the operation and management of community energy schemes. Alongside this a number of interlinking factors have been uncovered that impact on their development, in particular the importance of social and cultural aspects on this process. As a result, the study recommends that consideration be shown to the uniqueness of each area and context before attempting to replicate these schemes. Practitioners and policy makers alike can benefit from these insights. Theoretically the study confirms and extends theories relating to social entrepreneurship and innovation. It has shown how within the context of renewable energy, social enterprises can be viewed as significant actors in the adoption and diffusion process. Furthermore it provides insight into areas that have to date been underexplored, notably development of community energy business models.

Abstract:
The world today is built on energy. Every process, whether industrial or civil, from the moment one awakes in the morning all throughout the day and into the late night, is fuelled by energy. There is an energy consumption going on twentyfour hours, every day of the year (IEA, 2017). The traditional energy mix (coal, gas, oil) has been used up to now with disrupting effects on our planet. In order to stay in the sustainable development concept, the demand for energy will be optimally met with renewable energies (RE), so to also keep the global temperatures under 2°C or even 1.5°C, if ambitious measures are used (IPCC, 2011).The focus of this study is on the Association of South East Nations (ASEAN), because it has an unexploited potential to increase the usage of RE, due the fact that the region has over 140 million in population without access the electricity (Shi, 2016, IEA, 2017). The region is also still developing its energy infrastructure and decides on energy road maps for the next couple of years (Zamora, n.d., Brahim, 2014, Alison Riddell, Steve Ronson, Glenn Counts, n.d., Renner et al., 2018). Thus, this is the right time to research why ASEAN has not yet implemented more RE into its nations.The paper will explore the experts perceptions on the RE implementations in ASEAN as well as how does the government regulation and policy structures involve in the renewable energy implementation. To provide a better understanding of the impacts in the implementation phase of RE in ASEAN, the PESTEL framework helps to analyse the area on a macro level from six different perspectives. This framework will also help to identify and give suggestions to overcome several obstacles that have emerged in the implementation of RE in ASEAN.

Thesis (MCom)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Worldwide, energy has been, and continues to be, key to economic development. However, the current global consensus is that energy-related carbon dioxide emissions would, at current rates, put the world onto a potentially catastrophic trajectory which could lead to global warming of 5 degree Celsius or more compared to pre-industrial times. There is a critical need for a low-carbon development or a move away from conventional fossil fuels energy sources. This study explores impacts of policies that South Africa developed in order to champion sustainable energy strategies based on energy efficiency and non-conventional energy sources, including renewable energy. The mining sector, because of its energy-intensive nature, was chosen. In order to achieve this objective three approaches were carried out: (i) a critical review of literature on energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) ; (ii) two case-studies that demonstrate the impacts of the policies; and (iii) action research on a sample of mines using survey questionnaire and interviewing. The research results show that the need to have security in energy and the need to be competitive and grow revenue are significant in deciding to carry out EE and RE initiatives in the mining sector. The results also show that safety followed by production are the priorities and are accompanied by a range of other demands, such as cost reduction and legislative requirements. It is, therefore, within this context that EE and RE initiative will always be carried out in the mining sector. The research concludes that, under the current market framework, South African EE and RE policies are not as effective as hoped they would be. The research, therefore, recommends that a percentage of the mines’ revenue could be dedicated to EE and RE initiatives. In addition, South Africa needs to come up with a new type of productive endeavour that would lead to less extractive industries, including mines.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Energie is, was en sal wereldwyd altyd die sleutel wees tot ekonomiese ontwikkeling. Nieteenstaande, word dit wereldwyd aanvaar dat die huidige energie opwekking se koolstofdioksied vrystelling moontlik kan lei tot aardverwarming van 5 grade Celsius of meer wanneer vergelyk met word met pre-industriële tye. Daar is ‘n kritiese behoefte aan lae koolstofdioksied vrystelling ontwikkelings of ‘n beperking van konvensionele fossielbrandstof energiebronne. Hierdie studie analiseer die impak van die Suid Afrikaanse beleid wat ontwikkel is om volhoubare energie te bevorder wat effektief en onkonvensioneel is, insluitend hernubare energie. Die mynsektor, as ‘n groot verbruiker van energie, vorm die kern van die studie. Die studie is voltooi in drie fases naamlik: (1) kritiese oorsig van die literatuur oor energiedoeltreffendheid (EE) en hernubare energie (RE); (2) twee gevallestudies wat die impak van die beleid bevestig; en (3) praktiese navorsing deur middel van vraelyste en persoonlike onderhoude met seker myne. Die navorsing bevestig dat die behoefte aan bestendige energie teen kompeterende pryse wat die mynsektor in staat stel om inkomste te groei ,‘n beduidende invloed het op die besluit om EE of RE inisiatiewe te onderneem. Die resultate bevestig verder dat beroepsveiligheid en produksie uitsette die eerste prioriteite vir die myne is. Dit word verder beinvloed deur kostebesparings en wetlike vereistes. Enige EE en RE inisiatiewe wat onderneem word sal in hierdie konteks plaasvind. Die navorsing kom tot die slotsom dat, onder huidige marktoestande, Suid Afrika se EE en RE beleid nie so effektief is as waarop daar gehoop is nie. Die navorsing beveel derhalwe aan dat ‘n persentasie van myne se inkomste geoormerk moet word vir EE en RE inisiatiewe.

Abstract:
Since the publication of the White Paper on energy Policy of 1998, South Africa has taken off on a new trajectory of sustainability. The South African government have identified that the renewable energy sector will play a critical role in advancing and improving the energy sector. They envisage that the sector will contribute to the development of a green economy and the creation of meaningful employment for all South Africans. With the renewable energy sector of South Africa being dependent on skills, many of which are pertinent for the success of the sector, sufficient skilled workers are required to provide a service to the growing sector. Upon engaging with individuals employed in the sector and embarking on the research it became apparent that there was a lack of a talent management framework for the sector. Talent management represents a means for companies to develop and sustain talent pipelines thereby creating a competitive advantage. Globally executives across the employment spectrum admit that they have challenges in building a strong talent pipeline. The South African Renewable Energy Sector (SARES) is not exempt from this reality, where it has been well documented that South Africa is struggling with a skills shortage. This makes it difficult to grow and develop a fledgling sector. The purpose of this treatise was to evaluate the need for a talent management framework for the South African Renewable Energy Sector. To evaluate this, a literature review was performed on concepts relating to the development of a talent management framework specifically for the sector. These concepts or independent variables were, engineering skills, competence, knowledge worker, policies supporting RE development as well as training and development. The talent management framework relied on ring fencing the study around the knowledge worker, by correlating the definition of an engineer to that of a knowledge worker. The results show that despite the proclamation made by the South African government that South Africa is geared to supply the skills required for SARES. The research found a need for educational institutes to produce more knowledge workers. The results of this research study showed that despite the low positive correlation between the five independent variables, being, engineering skills, competence, knowledge worker, policies supporting RE development they would still provide those responsible for recruitment and talent management with a platform to be able to develop a working talent management strategy. There is a need for the development of a suitable talent management framework, which would allow the sector to manage elements of talent management such as recruitment and retention of knowledge workers. The proposed talent management framework can be used to assist in consolidating the present recruitment practises as well as being used to develop a talent management strategy for the sector.

Abstract:
Blended finance (“BF”) is a form of structuring finance which involves using foreign aid to leverage commercial funding to a project. The topic is generally under researched, despite its increased importance in development finance and as a tool in attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This research set out to investigate if BF was being applied in a justified manner in private sector renewable energy (“RE”) projects in Sub-Saharan Africa (“SSA”). The first two sub-questions looked at the criteria considered when qualifying projects for BF, and the factors influencing terms offered. The final sub-question was to seek operational evidence of appropriate BF usage. Data was collected through a series of semi-structured interviews with Donors, Development Finance Institutions (“DFIs”) and research institutions and analyzed using an inductive thematic approach. A descriptive case study was used to answer the final sub-question, and involved interviews with key individuals involved with the BF approval process in the selected project. The results suggest that BF is being applied in a justified manner. Sub-question one found that there is a difference in the criteria considered by Donors and DFIs when offering BF. Donor principles appear to be broader, due to their limited engagement on individual projects and delegated investment authority to DFIs. Having a development rationale and economic case for the use of BF was a prominent theme with DFIs and Donors. Factors influencing the BF terms offered to projects were difficult to extract due to the sensitive nature of the topic. Four factors did emerge, with minimizing concessionality being an overarching theme. For the final sub-question, the Mocuba Solar project was used as a case study and provided much needed evidence on the detailed processes followed in assessing the projects need for BF and how terms were derived. This research sheds light on the project level use of BF in the SSA RE IPP context and identifies areas where improvements can be made. Having more BF case studies and an agreed definition of BF for reporting purposes were recommendations to ensure BF is applied effectively.

Abstract:
In line with the Paris Agreement, the global hotel sector must reduce its carbon emissions by 66% by 2030 and 90% by 2050. Adopting renewable energy technology (RET) to produce electricity on site is one of the UN’s recommended tools for the hotel sector. Some hotels have explored certain sustainable practices such as light-emitting diode lights, T5 fluorescent tubes, motion sensors, the key-card system, and water-cooled chillers. However, several studies have reported low RET adoption in the hotel sector globally. There are limited studies exploring RET adoption in the hotel context. In response to a strong call to action to the hotel sector, this dissertation addresses this gap by identifying key dynamics that underpin RET adoption, how they influence RET adoption rate, and how these dynamics promote sustainability growth of RET adoption while balancing environmental, social and economic risks and benefits. The results of a systematic quantitative literature review indicate that RET adoption comprises interrelated sectors including technology and its economic viability, hotelier and tourist perceptions, the government and the environment. To incorporate complexity associated with interrelated dynamics, a systems thinking approach supported by a mixed method were used. The state of Queensland in Australia was selected as a case study to conceptualise the RET adoption dynamics. Queensland is an important tourism destination within Australia and internationally, and the number of hotels is growing. Despite Queensland having many incentive policies to promote RET uptake, adoption among the hotel sector is low. Thus, understanding the enablers to RET adoption in the context of Queensland could highlight its complexity and assist decisions to adopt RET in the service sector. Following interviews and structural analysis with stakeholders including hoteliers, the government, academics in tourism and engineering, and electrical providers, the complex dynamics associated with RET adoption in the hotel sector was visualised using a mind-mapping technique (i.e., causal loop diagram). The diagram indicates that those who stimulated the transitions were the government through its incentive policies and tourists by selecting or revisiting hotels. These same actors, however, also (unintentionally) formed a barrier. The government barricaded RET adoption by retracting the incentives policies before a wider adoption could take place. The tourists obstructed wider RET adoption by preferring renewable-sourced hotels and leaving hotels that are unable to uptake RET financially disadvantaged. To empirically test the conclusions drawn from causal loop modelling, a quantitative simulation (i.e., stock-and-flow model) was created. The results suggest that the absence of the government incentive policies caused a negligence impact on RET uptake in the hotel sector because the net present value of RET with 12% discount was already lower than those of the grid in the Queensland context. Instead, the results showed the technology price and performance were a better leverage to encourage adoption. This key finding indicates that, in the hotel sector context, where customer satisfaction is vital to business longevity, hotels may dismiss taking up RET despite its proven economic viability because it poses a risk of electricity disruptions and may compromise tourist experience. The quantitative model’s results contradict the causal loop findings, particularly the overconfidence in government policies, highlighting the usefulness of triangulating research qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on these findings, two recommendations were offered. First, the Queensland government is recommended to foster RET innovation and investment by rechannelling fund from programs that promote individuals (business included) RET adoption to programs that invest in RET innovation. Second, the hotel sector needs to take a leadership to adopt RET by creating a roadmap to innovation adoption. This dissertation contributes to the examination of opportunities to promote RET uptake in the hotel sector. It provides the basis with which to better understand the dynamics that could drive RET uptake, while identifying possible leverage points to more sustainable growth of RET uptake. In doing so, this research contributes to ongoing efforts to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable, low-emissions hotel sector.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Dept Tourism, Sport & Hot Mgmt<br>Griffith Business School<br>Full Text

Abstract:
Economies aim to expand over time, which always implies the need for increased energy availability in support of this growth. Governments can use their procurement of energy generation to further enhance the benefit to their economies via certain policy tools. One such tool is Local Content Requirements (LCR) where procurement of a good dictates that a certain value has to be sourced locally. The argument for this tool is that spend is localised and manufacturing, as well as job creation, can be stimulated due to industry establishing in the host economy. However, this practice is distortionary in effect and it does not create a fair playing field for global trade. Furthermore, if the local content definition is weak, or open to manipulation, the goals of such a policy may not be achieved at all. This study looked into the local content requirements of South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) and measured the impact of this policy on the renewable energy sector in general. It was found that, in order to implement a policy such as local content, the host economy had to have certain pre-existing conditions in order to avoid any negative welfare effects. Due to SA not holding all supportive pre-conditions for supporting local content policy, the impact and effect of LCRs has not been optimal and it has not been found to be a sustainable mechanism to continue using into the future indefinitely. The pricing of renewable energy was also found to be higher due to local content and such pricing is passed on to the energy consumer. Therefore, the net welfare impact created for South Africa is diminished in exchange for the creation of jobs and manufacturing, but due to the unsustainability and potential manipulation of the system the country is not maximising the welfare potential from the REIPPPP as it should. It was found that SA renewable energy resources do exist and the logistics infrastructure is strong, providing good potential for investment into renewable energy projects. The demand created by the REIPPPP provided a good market, but there was uncertainty in the long term planning and stability. So, from a market perspective this could be further enhanced. Government had created a sufficient platform for investment, but areas of development such as clusters, R&D and skills training would create a better support environment for LCR policy and strict monitoring of this would also be required to prevent any manipulation. The use of LCRs increases project costs and risk, which is passed onto the energy consumers, but this could be reduced if local goods were more readily available at the right price and at the right quality and quantity. Focus on clusters would once again assist in this regard as independent power producers (IPPs) and engineering procurement and construction (EPC) entities would be able to source components and goods locally in a more cost-effective manner. As the LCRs currently stand in the REIPPPP, it would seem that South Africa is making renewable energy more expensive and although it is argued that this is done for the benefit of creating a new industry and jobs, these are not sustainable and so the current LCR policy will only create short term benefits.

Abstract:
This study evaluates the energy efficiency, cost-saving opportunities and nearly zero emissions for the residential sectors of Ghana and Nigeria, focusing on three household appliances: fridges, freezers and bulbs. It analyses the integration of renewable energy systems in residential households, comparing energy-efficient and non-energy-efficient scenarios in both countries. The study uses field data, existing data on RETScreen software and analytical methods to examine the energy consumption patterns of key household appliances and their impact on renewable energy system design, cost, and emissions reduction. As for the energy consumption patterns, Ghana showed higher daily usage of household appliances, with longer operational hours for fridges and freezers averaging 20.3 hours/day, while Nigeria had lower daily usage, averaging 11.8 hours/day for similar appliances. For Nigeria, the annual electricity cost in the non-energy-efficient scenario is approximately 109.69 USD, while for energy-efficient households, the cost is reduced to 79.31 USD. In Ghana, non-energy-efficient households spend around 379.97 USD annually, compared to 317.55 USD for energy-efficient homes. The results highlight the significant cost-saving opportunities of adopting energy-efficient technologies. This higher energy demand in Ghana and its higher electricity tariffs lead to greater overall consumption and higher costs. Despite similar appliance wattages, Nigeria's lower tariff results in comparatively lower energy expenses. Using the energy consumption patterns for both countries under the energy-efficient and non-energy-efficient scenarios, system sizing for solar PV and battery storage was conducted to know the economic viability of renewable energy integration through Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and Net Present Value (NPV) assessments. In both scenarios, the payback period for solar PV and battery systems in Nigeria is 22 years, making it not economically viable under current electricity tariffs. In contrast, Ghana shows a payback period of 10.3 years, making solar PV systems financially viable. The RETScreen simulation examined two important scenarios for energy efficiency in Nigeria and Ghana: compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) as the baseline and LED lighting as a proposed alternative. The results show different GHG (greenhouse gas) reduction equivalences for the number of automobiles that are not driven, the number of individuals who cut their energy use, the number of hectares of forests that absorb GHG, etc. The study's conclusions highlight the significance of energy efficiency in lowering overall energy usage, tariff rates, and expenses associated with solar and battery systems. The results have also provided more insights for both countries to create more comprehensive policies that will encourage adopting energy-efficient practices and make it cheaper for homes to integrate and use renewable energy systems.

Abstract:
The main purposes of the project were to analyze the possibility of using waste from the energy sector - fly ash from the lignite combustion process - as a growing medium, as well as to use the electricity obtained from the photovoltaic panel to power the equipment located in the constructed greenhouse. In addition, the project involved the development of a connection of equipment to ensure proper air parameters for growing plants. The constructed and equipped greenhouse stand was used to perform vase tests on white mustard seeds. The test was carried out in four trials for each of the adopted ash concentrations in the growing medium. The grown plants were examined for plant length and root length. The experiment showed a positive effect of the ash substrate on the growth of the above-ground part of the plant and the number of germinated seeds. These results suggest that fly ash can play an important role as a substitute for traditional crop substrates, contributing to the efficient use of waste from the energy sector.

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.

Abstract:
Access to affordable and sustainable electricity is of fundamental importance to development in much of Africa. But, while access to electricity is improving, contributions from non-hydropower renewable energy sources remain small. At the same time, China – the powerhouse of solar energy technologies – has made limited contribution to harnessing Africa’s renewable energy. Combining insights from recent webinars and research, this Policy Briefing discusses how China–Africa cooperation on renewable energy could lead to improvements in access to and supply of affordable and sustainable energy in Africa. Recommendations for African and Chinese policymakers and businesses include the adoption of transparent, competitive, and locally inclusive energy procurement and use mechanisms.

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.

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.
