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

The Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) released its new report Beyond the Crisis: Consumer Protection and Market Measures for Better Functioning Markets. The report examines the measures implemented across Europe to address the challenges posed by the recent energy crisis and reflects on the lessons learned to create more consumer-centric energy markets.

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. 

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is at a pivotal point in its collective energy future. This report outlines energy transition pathways that focus on renewables, end-use electrification, energy efficiency and emerging technologies, such as hydrogen. The main focus of this report is the 1.5°C Scenario (1.5-S), an energy pathway for ASEAN that is aligned with IRENA’s global 1.5-degree pathway from the World Energy Transitions Outlook

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.
