Renewable energy auctions are the leading procurement method globally, but their design in emerging markets often shifts financial risks onto governments, making smarter auction design essential to distributing risks more equitably and delivering broader socio-economic benefits.
Solar PV plants demonstrate how integrating renewable energy with agriculture, conservation and land restoration can improve environmental conditions, enhance biodiversity and increase productivity.
Finvest@ETAF, a joint IRENA-ICAO initiative, tackles SAF financing barriers through structured project facilitation, bankability assessments, and de-risking instruments — turning SAF ambitions into investment-ready projects at scale.
Renewable energy auctions are the leading procurement method globally, but their design in emerging markets often shifts financial risks onto governments, making smarter auction design essential to distributing risks more equitably and delivering broader socio-economic benefits.
This report assesses legal and regulatory frameworks for grid-connected electricity generation, transmission and supply, identifying challenges to renewable energy deployment in Fiji.
