Geothermal energy has a significant role to play in the global transition to renewable and low-carbon energy systems because of its ability to supply steady and flexible electricity particularly for baseload demand because of its cost competitiveness compared to fossil fuel energy options....

The Cameroon electricity sector is currently plagued by inadequate generation capacity. The electricity supply deficit has had dire consequences on attaining the country's industrialization, socioeconomic and developmental objectives enshrined in her Vision 2035. However, there are sustainable...

The use of distributed energy resources (DER) programs, which include separate renewable energy (RE) programs, has expanded in residential as well as commercial structures as an outcome of recent technological developments. The virtual power plant (VPP) may improve the security and reliability...

The development of a country cannot be realized only through the amount of energy it produces and its industrialization. In a country where its people are left homeless and poor, and its cultural and natural riches are destroyed, the electricity produced is not a measure of development on its...

Iran holds the world's second-largest proven oil reserves and fourth-largest gas reserves. However, the heavy reliance on highly subsidized fossil fuel resources, coupled with growing demand, has led to their depletion and increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This research introduces a...

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...

Long-term energy demand forecasting is crucial for any country, in particular for developing countries with rapid developments of energy needs. This study focuses on Ethiopia, a country with a highly increasing energy demand resulting mainly from the currently low share of electricity access,...
