The interlinkage of energy and poverty: evidence from India
Worldwide, some two billion people live without access to modern energy supply. About 1.6 billion people live without access to electricity. Alleviating this "energy poverty" is a factor in reaching most of the UN's millennium goals. In our contribution to the debate on how to achieve this aim, we discuss the nexus between energy and poverty in developing countries. In order to deal with all ...

Fuzzy linear programming for DSS in energy planning
Energy system planning requires the use of planning tools that help to design the energy systems under consideration. The mathematical models of real world energy systems are usually multi-period linear optimisation (LP) programs. In these models, the objective function describes the total discounted costs of covering the demand for final energy or energy services. The demand for various forms of ...

Enhancing the role of the CDM in accelerating low-carbon technology transfers to developing countries
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in its present form concentrates on single projects, mostly in isolation of the host country’s national and technological context. CDM project patterns largely follow those of foreign direct investments, resulting in a relatively large share of rapidly industrialising developing countries in the CDM project pipeline. This paper suggests that the CDM position ...

Determining energy savings using utility bills: A winning method for ESCOs
After installing energy conservation measures (ECMs), Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) often determine the energy savings resulting from the project and present the savings results to their customers. A common way tocalculate energy savings is to measure the flows of energy associated with the ECM, and then to apply spreadsheet calculations to determine savings. For example, a chiller retrofit ...

Interregional power transmission: a component in planning for renewable energy technologies
We discuss the role played by interregional power transmission on the basis of recent scenario work. In a project dealing with long-term planning for energy efficiency and renewable energy in Europe [described thoroughly in 1-4], we modelled a scenario for the present 15 EU countries' energy system in 2050. The basis for the scenario is the concept of "fair pricing" for energy services, meaning ...
