New IRENA report shows investment in renewables is cost‑effective, delivering economic growth and jobs, while achieving global climate and sustainable development objectives.
Ce rapport résume les présentations et les discussions tenues lors de la série de webinaires intitulée: Scénarios énergétiques à long terme (LTES) pour l'élaboration de plans nationaux de transition énergétique en Afrique.
This report summarises the presentations and discussions held at the webinar series entitled: Long-Term Energy Scenarios (LTES) for Developing National Energy Transition Plans in Africa.
This report shows the importance of regional coordination in long-term planning, by showcasing collective opportunities for North African countries to diversify their electricity generation mixes and reduce their reliance on fossil fuel resources by 2040.
In partnership with the Central Africa Power Pool (CAPP), IRENA has launched a second phase of regional training on energy model analysis and planning for CAPP countries.
IRENA organised the third, in a series of four week-long trainings, for a team of African modellers developing Africa Continental Power System Masterplan (CMP).
The energy transition, with its systematic shift to renewable energy needs to be understood not as a burden impost on the world’s most vulnerable people, but as a vast opportunity to improve livelihoods across Africa in ways that transcend purely economic benefits.
The capacity building workshop was realised as a two-day online workshop on 14-15 November 2022.
IRENA has been supporting the government of Cameroon for the implementation of this capacity building programme to enhance energy planning capacity within national institutions on Long-term planning through training on the SPLAT model and the development of energy scenarios.
This report draws on primary data from health-energy assessments across 40 sample health facilities in Burkina Faso, as well as key stakeholder consultations and meetings with government and external health and energy experts.
In partnership with the Central Africa Power Pool (CAPP), IRENA has launched a second phase of regional training on energy model analysis and planning for CAPP countries.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in collaboration with the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), the West African Power Pool (WAPP), the ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH organised a capacity building programme on the design of bankable renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) for ECOWAS Member States.
IRENA collaborates with the G20 Presidency of Indonesia in the development and implementation of G20...
As one of the custodians of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 on energy, IRENA will prominently participate in the 2022 Sustainable Energy for All Forum.
Africa’s rapid economic expansion creates a daunting energy challenge, combined with rising expectations of improved resilience and sustainability. Finding a sustainable way to meet growing energy needs is one of the core development challenges for the continent. Africa is rich in renewable energy sources, including hydro, sun, wind and others, and the time is right for sound planning to ensure the right energy mix. Decisions made today will shape the continent’s energy sector for decades.
Two-day online workshop was realised to follow up on the high-priority issues identified by regional participants in the 2019 IRENA AVRIL workshop and to align IRENA’s efforts with the ongoing efforts towards establishment of a regional North African masterplan.
This joint report by RES4AFRICA, IRENA and UNECA calls for enhanced co-operation to accelerate SDGs in Africa and support a just and inclusive energy transition.
The report lays out a pathway to a renewable-based energy system and shows that the transition promises substantial gains in GDP, employment, and human welfare in each region of the African continent.
