The promotion and development of renewable energy technologies: current status and pattern of use in Nepal
This paper presents the current status and pattern of use of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) in Nepal. The importance of the renewable energy development paradigm is considered in the overall context of national development by supplying the energy requirements of rural areas by the use of available biomass resources whilst also protecting the environment. The RETs popular in the rural energy ...

Exploitation of renewable energy sources in the Gulf region: fairy tale or challenging opportunity?
During the last decades the need for development of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) in the region of Middle East has been pointed by many researchers and policy makers. Considering the fact that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are well known for their large oil and gas reserves it is not surprising that the contribution of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in their economies has ...

Rethinking the green recovery through renewable energy expansion
The world today is facing the worst economic and environmental crises in generations. Hence, we need policies that can stimulate recovery and at the same time reach the sustainability. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP et al., 2008; UNEP, 2009a, 2009b, 2011) and many economists (e.g., Barbier, 2009a, 2009b, 2010; Edenhofer and Stern, 2009; Robins et al., 2009) advocate the need for a ...

Grounding Green Power: bottom-up perspectives on smart renewable energy policy in developing countries
Developing Countries in the Renewable Energy Transformation In order to meet the intensifying climate challenge, the global energy system must undergo a fundamental transformation, with a rapid increase of renewable energy worldwide. Developing countries are at the forefront of this challenge, since they are expected to add around 80 percent of all new electric generation capacity worldwide in ...

The all-electric house: past and future
It is possible today, to construct a house of comparable cost to a conventional one that will gain all of its energy from renewable energy sources. However, there are very few examples of such houses. This paper argues that the slow take up of these ideas has a parallel with the development and spread of electricity in the UK at the start of the 20th century. It also suggests actions that should ...

Socio-economic aspects of an off-grid SPV power supply system in an island village in India
The electrification of five villages in Sagardeep island in south Bengal by the West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA) with lighting and power by Solar Photo-voltaic (SPV) devices, in line with the concept originating more than three decades ago and culminating in launching countrywide rural electrification, is clearly a successful venture. But there are distinct implifications. ...

Analysis of regulatory barriers to renewable energy uptake in partnership developing countries
One of the key barriers identified in relation to the increased uptake of renewable energy is the lack of mature markets and favorable policy, regulatory and legal frameworks to encourage the development of, and investment in, renewable energy. The purpose of the project is to provide an overview of the regulatory and policy situation in China, India, and Korea in relation to renewable energy ...

An incumbent vs. a new entrant: a Porter's five forces tale of a powerful electricity provider vs. a green energy retailer
This article has two themes: the energy (electricity) industry and strategy from a Porter's five forces framework. The concept of the various types of energy provided by electricity companies in Australia is becoming a hot topic, due to the sustainability movement. While EnergyAustralia, an incumbent, has dominated the industry for a long time, new entrants like JackGreen, focusing primarily on ...

A linguistic TOPSIS model to evaluate the sustainability of renewable energy options
Renewable Energy Sources (RES) could be used to reduce carbon emissions, decrease dependence on fossil fuels and meet energy policy objectives towards Sustainable Development (SD). However, appraising the RES options' contribution to SD is a complex task, considering the different aspects of SD and the uncertainty of related information. The paper's objective is to extend the numerical ...

Pakistan’s energy dilemma: a call for global support
With the beginning of the 21st century Pakistan is facing energy crisis. In the short term, protests against energy shortages are exacerbating tensions in this highly volatile and tenuous nation. In the long term, failure to invest in renewable energy will derail economic development and forestall sustainable growth, exacerbating an already incendiary short-term situation. The government has to ...

Shannon entropy for energy technologies ex-ante evaluation
Most of the international literature has used Shannon entropy to measure the information gap. In this paper we propose a method that uses Shannon entropy to evaluate ex-ante energy technologies in a decision making process. It was called ITEM, i.e., Information Theory Energy technology ex-ante evaluation Method. The aim was to have a suitable tool for characterising the most critical project ...
