Integrating Distributed Energy Resources in China Executive summary

…integrating DER into power grids and markets. National regulations introduced in 2025 cancelled the profitable and widely implemented guaranteed purchase option for the largest DPV installations, requiring instead self-consumption models. At the same time, high-level policy documents are promoting market access for distributed generation and aggregators. Grid companies have announced record levels of investment and are assessing how much additional capacity the grid can safely accommodate to better guide DER deployment. But the challenges ahead require more systemic reforms.The IEA’s three-pillar strategy, centred on modernising system operations, enabling progressive market integration and advancing regulatory reform…

Financing Clean Energy in Africa Designing finance solutions for clean energy: solutions for key sectors

…where grants and concessional funding need to lead. Achieving universal access to modern energy requires a major uptick in spending, reaching roughly USD 25 billion per year by 2030. Affordability constraints risk acting as a brake: only around half of the new electricity access connections providing the most basic energy services are likely to be affordable in the absence of additional financial support, such as subsidies, grants or tariff reform. Clean cooking projects beyond improved cookstoves face similar challenges. Grants, concessional capital and government support will therefore play a critical role, particularly in rural areas. Investment in renewable power projects is set…

Integrating Solar and Wind in Southeast Asia Executive summary

…for all countries to diversify their energy sources. Driven by rapid urbanisation, population growth, industrialisation and rising living standards, demand growth exceeded 7% in 2024 - nearly double the global average. While the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states are becoming increasingly reliant on imported coal and gas for power generation, the recent global energy crisis underscored the risks that this dependence poses through fuel price volatility and supply disruptions. Meeting electricity demand growth securely, affordably and sustainably requires co-ordinated policy measures and actions from policymakers, regulators and utilities. Southeast Asia has vast potential to leverage a…

Spain

Spain is at the forefront of the energy transition due to its energy and climate change policies. The current Spanish framework for energy and climate is based on the 2050 objectives of national climate neutrality, 100% renewable energy in the electricity mix and 97% renewable energy in the total energy mix. As such, it is centred on the massive development of renewable energy, particularly solar, wind and renewable hydrogen, increasing energy efficiency and improving electrification. This is an opportunity for the country to not only stimulate the economy and by creating jobs through the modernisation of industry, but also to…
