The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) co-sponsored and participated in the 41st International Energy Workshop (IEW) to address electricity demand profiles in the clean energy transition.
The Malaysia energy transition outlook provides a comprehensive, renewables-focused, long-term energy pathway for the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy system in Malaysia.
The joint workshop gathered speakers and energy experts from IRENA, the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) and State Grid Energy Research Institute (SGERI).
The joint webinar by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), TransnetBW GmbH and the Costa Rican Electricity Institute, aimed at discussing innovative solutions for operating power systems with increasing shares of variable renewable electricity.
This white paper, developed by the IRENA Coalition for Action, explores the role of energy utilities in the energy transition and outlines the achievements and implementation strategies of national, regional and local utilities switching to 100% renewable energy. The paper also includes an updated global mapping of national and sub-national 100% renewable energy targets.
Power systems need to be increasingly flexible to accommodate rising solar and wind shares. This brief examines the uses of demand-side flexibility, outlines solutions to achieve these, and highlights examples in actual power systems.
Grid Integration workshop on Advanced Modelling for Renewables in PSS/E for Power System Studies as part of IRENA’s initiative for Clean Energy Corridor of Central America (CECCA)
In the framework of the project “Energy Solutions for Cities of the Future”, IRENA organised a capacity building event on the integration of low-temperature renewable energy sources into district energy systems targeting Southeast Europe.
GREF 2019 focused on pathways towards carbon-neutrality by 2050, analysing the current status of renewable energy policies and decarbonisation pathways from different perspectives and highlight the role of hydrogen and power-to-x pathways — focusing on improving the understanding of hydrogen ‘as a low-carbon technology option’ and analysing the existing barriers and solutions needed to accelerate its deployment.
The first regional workshop for REmap and FlexTool Central America harmonised awareness of the relevant existing work in the region, exchange the best practices of Central American countries, and shared details of IRENA's REmap and FlexTool analyses.
The focus of this online workshop was on countries who have pledged very high (above 70-80% to 100%) renewable power targets by mid-century, and that accepted to participate in the experience-sharing programme on innovative solutions.
During the 38th edition of the International Energy Workshop (IEW) on 3 June 2019 in Paris, France, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) held a side event to discuss recent debates around the concept of “grid integration costs”.
Director-General Amin to launch IRENA 'Innovation Landscape' report in Brussels
Panama engaged with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to carry out a flexibility analysis for the power system considering a high penetration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE).
Panamá ha colaborado con la Agencia Internacional de Energías Renovables (IRENA) para llevar acabo un análisis de flexibilidad del sistema eléctrico. El estudio con la herramienta FlexTool de IRENA para este país considera las implicaciones de una alta penetración de energía solar y eólica, o energía renovable variable (ERV), en los próximos años.
Colombia engaged with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to assess the flexibility of the electricity mix proposed in their latest national expansion plan which pointed to VRE penetration exceeding IRENA’s Renewable Energy Roadmaps (REmap) estimates.
Este informe de la Agencia Internacional de Energías Renovables (IRENA) describe un método para potencial la flexibilidad del sistema eléctrico desde el punto de vista de la planificación, específicamente para acomodar la mayor participación posible de energía renovable variable (solar y eólica).
