Financial de-risking to unlock Africa's renewable energy potential

Instruments to Mitigate Financial Risk in Indian Renewable Energy Investments

Based on these targets, and assuming that these targets will be met in a linear fashion (i.e., equal capacity installation per year), using forecasted costs of renewable technologies, this would require approximately $189 billion of additional investment, including $132 billion of debt and $57 billion of equity. Among technologies, solar energy would require approximately $131 billion, wind ene...

Economic Potential of Renewable Energy in Vietnam’s Power Sector

A bottom-up Integrated Resource Planning model is used to examine the economic potential of renewable energy in Vietnam’s power sector. In a baseline scenario without renewables, coal provides 44% of electricity generated from 2010 to 2030. The use of renewables could reduce that figure to 39%, as well as decrease the sector’s cumulative emission of CO2 by 8%, SO2 by 3%, and NOX by 4%. In addit...

Quantifying rooftop solar photovoltaic potential for regional renewable energy policy

Quantifying Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Potential for Regional Renewable Energy Policy L.K. Wiginton, H. T. Nguyen, J.M. Pearce Abstract Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has matured to become a technically viable largescale source of sustainable energy. Understanding the rooftop PV potential is critical for utility planning, accommodating grid capacity, deploying financing schemes and formulat...
