National Climate Resilience Assessment for Morocco
…are likely to interrupt hydropower and coal-fired power generation, which require a large amount of water for power generation and cooling. Morocco is already making efforts to shift towards less water-intensive technologies, such as pumped hydropower storage and natural gas combined-cycle power plants.The energy sector is central to Morocco’s climate change strategy, contributing the largest share of its mitigation efforts. One of the key measures is the expansion of renewable electricity generation from a share of 17.6% in 2020 to of 52% by 2030. Given that renewable energy technologies are generally sensitive to climatic…

Saving Electricity in a Hurry 2005
Saving Electricity in a Hurry 2005 Saving Electricity in a Hurry describes some of the recent power blackouts – from Norway to New Zealand and from Tokyo to Arizona – and the policies these regions used to quickly reduce their power consumption. It shows that countries can quickly reduce electricity consumption without harming the economy as much as blackouts or unplanned curtailments. The strategies are diverse, unique and often surprisingly cheap. They include mass media campaigns – where a good joke can save a Megawatt – improvements in equipment efficiency, and adjusting electricity prices to cut electricity demand in a hurry. This book explains…

Strategic actions to support energy statistics
This document “20 strategic actions for energy statistics” has been drafted in 2016 by the IEA under theEU4Energy programme to support the 11 countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia in elaborating action plans for the development of their energy statistics. EU4Energy is a 4 year action supported by EU funding, with the objective of promoting evidence-based policy-making in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The document focuses on three aspects of energy statistics central to the EU4Energy programme and the development of statistics in the focus region: improving energy data…

Beyond Kyoto : Energy Dynamics and Climate Stabilisation
Energy Dynamics and Climate Stabilisation Beyond Kyoto Mitigating climate change will require profound changes in world energy production and use. While the full effects of climate change are not likely to be felt for decades, the need for action is more immediate, for changes in greenhouse gas concentrations are almost irreversible. Solutions exist in the form of energy efficiency improvements, fuel switching to non-carbon sources, and carbon recovery and storage. But the long-term costs of mitigation and the precise extent and pace of climate damage remain uncertain. So policy-makers face the task of conceiving and implementing measures…

Approximately 100 million households rely on rooftop solar PV by 2030
…cooling (mainly due to heat pump deployment) and electric mobility, the need for local embedded electricity production will increase Relevance Already today, solar PV significantly contributes to reducing carbon emissions globally. The latest Trends in Photovoltaics Applications report from the IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) showed that installed PV capacity at the end of 2020 saved more than 860 million tons of CO2 and it is estimated that the gigatonne (Gt) threshold was reached in 2021. Next to utility-scale installations, distributed applications on buildings are contributing significantly to PV use of around 40% globally. With different competitiveness conditions…

Senegal Case Study
Cost of Capital Observatory Case Study The Cost of Capital Observatory is an initiative from the IEA, the World Economic Forum, ETH Zurich and Imperial College London. The aim of the Observatory is to increase transparency in the energy sector and inspire investor confidence, especially in emerging and developing countries where data on financing costs is scarcer.Case Studies include lessons learnt of how policymakers, together with the private sector, development finance institutions and other entities managed to mitigate risks and mobilise capital for clean energy sectors across the emerging and developing world.

Technology Roadmap - Hydropower
Roadmap Technology Roadmap - Hydropower Hydropower could double its contribution by 2050, reaching 2,000 GW of global capacity and over 7,000 TWh. This achievement, driven primarily by the quest of clean electricity, could prevent annual emissions of up to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 from fossil fuel plants. The bulk of this growth would come from large plants in emerging economies and developing countries. Documentation

Energy, Water and the Sustainable Development Goals
Excerpt from World Energy Outlook 2018 The World Energy Outlook Sustainable Development Scenario takes its inspiration from the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) most closely related to energy: achieving universal energy access (SDG 7), reducing the impacts of air pollution (SDG 3.9) and tackling climate change (SDG 13). It sets out what would be needed to deliver these goals in the most cost-effective way. The Scenario now also includes a water dimension, focusing both on the water needs of the energy sector and the energy needs of the water sector

Gadgets and Gigawatts
…will be over 3.5 billion mobile phones subscribers, 2 billion TVs in use around the world and 1 billion personal computers.This book examines how "smart" this equipment is from an energy efficiency perspective and what the potential is for energy savings. It includes a global assessment of the changing pattern in residential electricity consumption over the past decade and an in-depth analysis of the role played by electronic equipment. It reviews the influence that government policies have had on creating markets for more energy efficient appliances and identifies new opportunities for creating smarter, more energy efficient homes.
