SCALING UP RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT

December 6, 2018

The objective is to provide an outline of the key challenges to rapid up scaling of renewable energy in general terms. Without addressing the particulars of an individual country, the challenges will necessarily be generic, but they will likely be recognisable to individual actors. The Coalition for Action is eager to help design solutions suited to each actor’s specific national circumstances. The challenges identified fall into three basic categories: Finance and Bankability; Administrative and Capacity; and Regulatory. This categorisation is not exclusive, and many issues appear in more than one category, but it forms a good basis for initial analysis. An overview and ranking of identified challenges according to their potential impact and likelihood can be found in the heat map in section 1.4.

Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2022 Edition

whitePaper | May 11, 2022

The Energy Transition Index (ETI) has benchmarked the progress of countries’ energy transition for a decade on the three dimensions of the energy triangle – economic development and growth, energy security and access, and environmental sustainability – and on the enabling environment for transition. In view of the current volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, however, a trend analysis from historical energy data can currently provide only limited insights. Hence, instead of the annual country energy transition benchmarking report, this special 2022 edition builds on the ETI trends observed in recent years to provide a perspective on the current challenges affecting the transition, and highlights priorities to supercharge it.
