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...

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,...

This work presents an Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) developed for Ecuador, the so-called Ecuador Land Use and Energy Network Analysis model (ELENA). This model includes six distinctive sectors of the economy and displays the four geographic regions composing the country. The model enables to...

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...

Clean energy technological innovations are widely acknowledged as a prerequisite to achieving ambitious long-term energy and climate targets. However, the optimal speed of their adoption has been parsimoniously studied in the literature. This study seeks to identify the optimal intensity of...

Companies in the manufacturing, service and transport infrastructure sectors will play a key role in the sustainable transition of the energy system implementing innovative technologies at full industrial scale. However, developing long-term investment plans is a challenging task, complicated by...

New York State policies impose time bound targets for both progressively larger emissions reductions and increasing fractions of zero-carbon electricity. This paper compares pathways to meet desired emissions reduction goals with or without specified zero-carbon electricity targets. We show that...

We use a national Saudi power system dispatch optimization model to assess the implications of load shifting from the industrial sector. This model quantifies the fuel offtake, emission, and cost implications of shifting industrial loads from peak summer to off-peak winter months with industrial...
