The global transition to clean energy must accelerate if global warming is to be limited to 1.5°C and the effects of climate change mitigated. For the energy sector, the transition involves replacing fossil...
This report presents a first attempt to systematically investigate how the energy transition can support economic activity and contribute to the creation of jobs while advancing the global decarbonization...
The rooftop solar installation component of the Sindh Solar Energy Project (SSEP) created direct and indirect employment opportunities, with a focus on short-term roles during construction and long-term...
The Kosovo Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Project (KEEREP) successfully generated direct and indirect employment opportunities in Kosovo through EE retrofits and related activities. The project...
The energy transition will entail not only job creation in new clean energy industries but also job losses in incumbent high-emission industries, such as coal extraction and use. Focusing purely on technological...
Significant scale-up of clean energy, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency, is the most important component of worldwide efforts to address climate change and increase energy access. As clean...
This report presents the findings and conclusions of a case study undertaken under a program of analytical work that investigates the impacts of the global transition to clean energy on the quantity and...
The Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project (RRFHP) is located in the Nile Equatorial Lakes (NEL) Region of Africa which is a part of the larger Nile River Basin (NRB) region. The NEL-region consists...
The Solar Hybrid Mini Grids for Rural Economic Development component of the Nigeria Electrification Project created direct and indirect employment opportunities across various skill levels in Nigeria...
The Rampur Hydropower Project (RHP) generated direct, indirect, and induced employment opportunities, improved local infrastructure, and had economic impacts on the region. However, there were challenges...
The Second Rural Electrification Project in Peru created direct jobs in rural electrification and promoted productive uses of electricity. While it had a positive impact on income and job quality, gender...
Rural electrification projects in Malawi generated substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities, particularly in construction and skilled roles. The projects also had an impact on gender disparity...
As the world’s fastest-growing local energy technology, distributed photovoltaics (DPV) has upended the traditional paradigm of one-way power flow from the grid to consumers. Solar electricity systems...
The objective of the report is to present the state of the underheating in Georgia and to quantify the economic costs of underheating. It presents estimates of the economic benefits of energy efficiency...
As in many countries around the world, subsidies to energy in Bangladesh impose a significant fiscal burden, with benefits that disproportionately accrue to high-income households. Any reforms of energy...
This paper presents an analysis of the economic impact of electricity price increases in Bangladesh. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is developed and used to trace through the impact of an...
The report surveys the challenges facing Bangladesh's power sector today and makes recommendations for consideration by national policy makers. Its starting point is the Government's goal of universal...
Enhancement of energy efficiency (EE) can help bridge the gap between supply and demand for energy. This paper assesses the energy efficiency and conservation (EE and C) potential of sixteen EE end-use...
By the late 1990s, the technical and financial performance of the power sector in India had deteriorated to the point where the Government of India had to step in to bail out the state utilities, almost...
This report assesses progress in implementing the government of India's power sector reform agenda and examines the performance of the sector along different dimensions. India has emphasized that an efficient...
