Smart Electrification with Renewables: Driving the Transformation of Energy Services
This publication provides policy makers with a conceptual overview of the global transition to electrification with renewables.
This publication provides policy makers with a conceptual overview of the global transition to electrification with renewables.
As part of the technical support provided under IRENA’s Clean Energy Corridor of Central America (CECCA) initiative, the Agency held a training, in partnership with GIZ and in collaboration with the Regional Operator Entity (EOR) of Central America, for national power system operators and officials in the region.
This workshop brought together policy makers and leading energy system modelers from China and abroad to share their experience in using models and scenario analysis to address some of the key questions in the electric power sector.
The focus of this online workshop was on countries who have pledged very high (above 70-80% to 100%) renewable power targets by mid-century, and that accepted to participate in the experience-sharing programme on innovative solutions.
The meeting aimed to promote an open dialogue and sharing of experiences on cross-sectoral alignment on renewable energy solutions with an emphasis on the nexus with water, agri-food and health sectors.
This study highlights key pilot projects, showcases innovative solutions and provides insights based on Sweden’s experience with the transition to 100% renewable power.
This outlook highlights climate-safe investment options until 2050, policies for transition and specific regional challenges. It also explores options to eventually cut emissions to zero.
Green hydrogen emerges as key complement to make the most of the massive renewable production.
This report examines ways for G20 countries to decarbonise their electricity systems by integrating high shares of solar and wind power.
Renewables could meet more than one-third of energy demand across Central and South-Eastern Europe cost effectively by 2030 with key decisions taken now.
This first-of-its-kind analysis, undertaken jointly by IRENA and the State Grid Corporation of China, reflects findings from their forthcoming “Electrification with Renewables” scoping study.
This report provides a comprehensive pathway for the development of a sustainable and cleaner regional energy system.
The report highlights the importance of sector coupling as a key source of flexibility that cities can explore to stabilise power grid operations when integrating high shares of variable renewable energy sources.
The transition to renewable-based, energy-efficient heating and cooling could follow several possible pathways. This report outlines the infrastructure and policies needed.
This outlook shows how through smart charging EV batteries can help to integrate high shares of solar and wind power into existing grids, as battery storage capacity helps to even out the variability of these sources.
This brief takes stock of the opportunity at hand – detailing the dynamism and the innovations in the off-grid renewable energy sector. Building on IRENA’s growing body of work on the topic, it highlights the latest trends and advances, including innovations in delivery and financing models.
