The Study was developed by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) as part of a technical assistance programme supporting the Sierra Leone Electricity & Water Regulatory Commission (SLEWRC). It aims to collect relevant CAPEX and OPEX data from mini-grid developers in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Sierra Leone to enhance benchmark credibility.

The global energy landscape is evolving, with an increasing focus on sustainability and the transition towards cleaner energy sources.

Basing on the latest database inputs ERRA has issued its latest report on 2021 data: I) Q4 gas & electricity wholesale and end-user prices; II) Annual data on revenue determinants for regulated utilities and operators.

A new World Bank report highlights the crucial role utilities play in achieving the dual goals of the clean energy transition: decarbonizing electricity supply and demand while providing electricity to the nearly 700 million people who still lack it. ERRA contributed to the report with data research.

The views presented in this discussion paper are circulated with CERC's staff with the aim of initiating discussions on various aspects of market coupling in the Indian power market and soliciting inputs from the stakeholders. 

In this technical document, NGFS addresses the challenges around the EMDEs and tries to contribute to the global collaborative effort to scale up blended finance for climate mitigation and adaptation in EMDEs by providing several policy recommendations.

The market is segmented by Type (Transmission and Distribution), and Geography (Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Rest of Southeast Asia). The report offers market size and forecasts in revenue (USD Billion) for all the above segments.

Interconnection is one of the biggest obstacles to the expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs). As demand for clean energy accelerates, utilities face a glut of requests to connect DER projects to an already saturated electric grid. Without up-to-date rules tailored to current clean energy technologies and the latest best practices for integrating them on the grid, it can take months or years to bring new projects online. 

Since 2022, the installed electricity generating capacity in India was 409 GW including 166 GW of RE generating capacity (including large hydro), which is about 40% of the total installed electricity generating capacity in the country. India has envisaged to increase the non-fossil fuel based installed electricity generation capacity to 500 GW by 2030.

The ASEAN Interconnector Study conducted by DNV delves into the critical aspects of decarbonization within the member states of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). This comprehensive research explores how collaborative efforts across South East Asian countries can significantly reduce costs and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy sources.

Strengthening interconnection between grids can enhance energy security and contribute to decarbonisation by allowing more flexibility in the system.  Particularly for interconnectors between grids in different jurisdictions, regulators’ roles in facilitating and regulating them can be complex, especially in cases where they operate in very different ways.

The conclusions of the 9th Energy Infrastructure Forum requested ACER and CEER to analyse key barriers and develop recommendations for national incentive schemes to promote anticipatory investment for the system integration of renewables.In this paper, ACER and CEER present findings based on two reviews of national regulatory frameworks (one in 2023 and another one in 2024) based on national regulatory authorities (“NRAs”) factual inputs and their views on the topic of anticipatory investments. Based on the findings, the report ends with several recommendations for regulators for national incentive schemes.
