Achieving universal electricity access by 2030 is one of the energy-related development targets in Nigeria and the electricity access rate is estimated at 62%, with urban being 91% and rural 30%. In line with the set SDG7 target of achieving universal electricity access by 2030, this study...

The state of the Ghana Power System reflects a story of progress, challenges, and future potential. Ghana has experienced significant milestones and achievements in its power system, including the development of major infrastructure projects such as the Akosombo Dam and initiatives to expand...

This paper presents the first application of the scenario discovery approach in geospatial electrification modelling. 1944 electrification simulations were constructed for Burkina Faso from a combination seven input levers, including four grid-extension strategies. The scenario discovery...

This study proposes a procedure that can help address the challenge of achieving universal energy access by facilitating the process of rural electrification. Our holistic methodology enables the analysis of electrification processes and tailored for the usage of open-source data, allowing for...

Energy management strategies that ensure that energy supply and demand related policies and investment decisions consider all feasible demand- and supply-side options and are consistent with global goals for sustainable development are essential for achieving universal energy access. In this...

Beijing's power system has experienced a significant transition by eliminating coal-fired power generation and increasing the extent of electrification over the past two decades. This study uses a plant-level dataset, pair-wise energy flow, and customized index decomposition analysis to...

The study aims to assess the alternatives to the diversification of energy carriers in the ASEAN member countries in the context of minimizing the risks associated with the creation of an energy portfolio. The indicator of the diversification of the energy carriers of the country based on the...

Due to the continuous growth of China's electricity demand, the efficiency of electricity consumption has drawn great attention. Based on 31 provincial panel data in China from 2004 to 2018, this study uses the spatial autocorrelation test and spatial econometric methods to quantitatively...

Climate and weather conditions influence energy demand. as well as electricity generation, especially due to the strong development of renewable energy. The changes of the European energy mix, together with ongoing climate change, raise a number of questions on impact on the electricity sector....

China's overseas energy projects have expanded significantly in the last decade. While there is considerable literature on energy-related construction contracts and ownership of power generation projects, China's power grid investments have been underexamined. Power grid investments can arguably...
