Modelling sustainable electric mobility transition in Nepal
Transport decarbonization in the Global South is often framed as a linear technology substitution, but this framing can fail in Least Developed Countries where grid adequacy, market structure, and public finance interact as binding system constraints. This study examines electric mobility transition viability in Nepal, a hydro-dominant system with strong seasonal variability in run-of-river generation (“Hydropower Paradox”). A multi-sector System…
Resilience-Oriented Planning of Multi-Carrier Microgrids under Cyber-Attacks
Country specific low carbon commitments versus equitable and practical company specific decarbonisation targets
Building capacity towards what? Proposing a framework for the analysis of energy transition governance in the context of urban informality in Sub-Saharan Africa
There is an emerging scholarship that criticises the conceptualisation of urban informality from a deficit view and emphasises that informality constitutes a way of life, a practice in its own right. We argue that energy is part of the informal way of life and that energy transitions need to take into account the specificities of urban informality when used for policy. Acknowledging energy practices is necessary to improve the justice of energy t…
Infrastructure Disruption in 'Silicon Savannah
Debates around urbanization, infrastructure disruption and the creative class rarely appear alongside each other in research on African cities. This article connects these different narratives, which are currently exerting their influence on the future direction of these cities. The economic value of the creative class is that their work centres on innovation-a quality seen as essential to 'new-economy' urban growth. Quality of place (that which …
Towards Measuring the Informal City
The rapid growth of urban informal settlements, or slums, poses a particular challenge for balancing developmental and environmental goals. In South Africa, high levels of inequality, poverty, and unemployment contribute to widespread migration. The influx of migrant workers to cities, however, is rarely matched with adequate housing and infrastructure, resulting in the formation and growth of urban informal settlements. Despite the persistence o…

Developing building typologies to examine energy efficiency in representative low cost buildings in Cape Town townships
Conceptualising slum in an urban African context
Probing uncertainty levels of electrification in informal urban settlements
A systems approach to understanding the effect of Facebook use on the quality of interpersonal communication
Assessing the sustainability of energy technological systems in Southern Africa
Environmental impact assessment during project execution phases
Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) are usually required for all projects in the raw materials processing industry of the South African energy sector; they range in comprehensiveness from screening or abridged to full EIAs. Technical projects are typically on extremely tight schedules and project managers are tasked to properly align project lifecycles with the EIA process. However, the South African EIA legislation fails to take project mana…
