Beyond cost: Unpacking the techno-economic, institutional, and social dynamics of solar PV adoption in Ghana's commercial sector
In countries such as Ghana, commercial energy consumers face high electricity prices and unreliable grid supply, often resorting to polluting diesel generators. This makes solar photovoltaic (PV) systems an appealing alternative, yet adoption remains limited. Interdisciplinary research on the factors influencing commercial-sector solar PV adoption in low- and middle-income countries remains limited, especially where firm-level investment decision…
Towards Resilient and Inclusive Climate Compatible Development: A Participatory, Mixed-Method Scenarios Approach for Zambia
Presents a novel scenarios approach for planning resilient and inclusive climate compatible development. • Applies novel scenario approach to explore climate compatible development in Zambia. • Resilient development can be supported through economic and energy-system diversification. • Inclusive development can be supported through building knowledge, skills and internal capacities. • Multi-level governance and fair development partnerships with …
The political economy of electricity system resource adequacy and renewable energy integration: A comparative study of Britain, Italy and California
The need to integrate growing shares of variable renewable resources, like solar and wind, into the power system has initiated a new wave of resource adequacy policy reforms. Securing adequate resources on the system, particularly flexible and peak capacity, is indeed crucial for ensuring long-term grid reliability amid increased supply variability. While extensively explored from a techno-economic perspective, the political economy drivers and i…
Infrastructure decision-making: Opening up governance futures within techno-economic modelling
Mexico’s renewable energy innovation system: Geothermal and solar photovoltaics case study
This paper evaluates the impact of changes in Mexican energy policies on the Mexican innovation systems ability to support renewable energy technologies, through a comparative case study on geothermal and solar photovoltaic technologies. The study examines the effectiveness of government policy in each case by exploring how changes in policy have affected the development of their respective innovation systems. The analysis is facilitated by a tec…
