Country
Uganda
In 2019, Uganda’s energy mix was dominated by fuel wood and charcoal followed by a small share of oil products. The country produces electricity mainly from hydroelectric plants. Between 2017 and 2019, electrification outpaced population growth in Uganda. However in 2020, less than 5% of the population had access to clean cooking.
The Electricity Connection Policy was introduced in 2018 with the ambition of increasing Uganda’s electricity access to 60 percent by 2027 through connection subsidies for consumers located close to the existing network. About 300,000 households and businesses have received free electricity connections, benefiting 1.5…- Overview

International Climate Initiative - bigEE – Bridging the Information Gap on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (India, China & South Africa)
…groups as well as support them in incorporating this knowledge into strategies and policies. In cooperation with experienced partners, it has gradually developed an Internet-based knowledge portal entitled ‘bigEE – Bridging the Information Gap on Energy Efficiency in Buildings’, which provides systematic and clear information on energy efficiency in buildings. The project also set up a network of partners in relevant stakeholder groups in major emerging countries, like South Africa, India and China. The partners created their own pages for their country on the Internet platform, detailing country-specific potential, net economic benefits, local stakeholder structures and existing policy instruments.

Cost of Capital Observatory
Tracking the cost of capital for clean energy projects in emerging and developing economies 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.The Observatory is divided into three sections:A Dashboard that provides free data on the cost of capital for energy projects in emerging and developing economies, updated with 2023 and 2024 data in July and…
