The East African Community EAC (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan) is still challenged by energy poverty for its socio-economic development. A continuous and fast growing energy demand is expected in this region due to varied factors, such as; high population growth-rate,...

Energy modelling is critical for addressing challenges such as integrating variable renewable energy and addressing climate impacts. This paper describes the updated code management structure and code updates, the revised community forum and the outreach activities that have built a vibrant...

The goal of this research is supporting strategic decision makers from countries that share and/or are impacted by cross-border energy generation projects. The methodology includes a case study of the energy surplus not used within the international agreement between two countries in...

Actions that transform our energy system are the cornerstone of decarbonizing our economy but have been hindered by the ineffective interface between researchers and decision-makers in Canada. This paper begins by arguing for a more holistic perspective on energy system decarbonization modelling...

The problem of excessive use of fossil fuels is a serious problem in many countries. The desire to obtain relatively cheap energy by burning mainly coal often wins over the need to maintain a good state of the environment. In recent years, Poland has been catching up with economic development in...

Economic development brings along strong energy demand. Northeast Asia is one of the regions with the most potential for further energy development in the world. Due to the complex geopolitical dilemma, barriers haven't been eliminated in energy trade and investment; therefore, there is more...

One challenge of the EU energy transition is the integration of renewable electricity generation in the distribution system. EU energy law proposes a possible solution by introducing “citizen energy communities” (Directive 2019/944/EU) which may be open for “cross-border participation”....

The Campania Region has one of the highest renewable energy potentials in Italy. Despite this high potential, the lack of an integrated energy strategy has allowed for deregulated exploitation of the resources of the territory, e.g. surplus of wind energy occurs in Campania due to the large wind...

This study examines the underlying concerns of global warming in the context of a small island developing states and the ensuing action of phasing out coal to keep global temperature rise below 1.5 °C, as stipulated by the Paris Agreement. Coal is amongst the most carbon intensive fuel,...

Despite energy communities' (ECs) large potential to contribute to the energy transition, they are still the exception rather than the rule. Thus, the objective of this study is to elaborate on measures to facilitate the diffusion and integration of ECs in the energy landscape. This is done by...
