Assessing and Measuring the Performance of Energy Efficiency Projects

This report seeks to make a contribution to scaling up energy efficiency through improved planning and design of energy efficiency interventions in the developing countries by starting with the basic management principle of What gets measured gets done. The report reviews global experience with the measurement and verification (M and V) of energy efficiency and the emerging field of recognizing the multiple benefits of energy efficiency (MBEE). Through the references, examples, data and practices highlighted in this report, this reports seeks to help practitioners demonstrate the performance of energy efficiency interventions. The overarching objective is to enable project developers, policy...

Turbines of the Caribbean - Decarbonising Suriname's electricity mix through hydro-supported integration of wind power

This journal article explores the potential for increasing the share of renewables in Suriname’s electricity mix, with a special focus on the complementary role of existing hydropower and future wind power infrastructure. The article demonstrates that wind and hydro resources have great synergetic potential for displacing fossil fuel-based power generation.. The results presented in the article have relevance for climate policy in various Caribbean countries and other island states with existing hydropower infrastructure and substantial wind/solar power potential, for which this study fills an important literature gap.

Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) Annual Report 2020

Energy is at the heart of development. It makes possible the investments, innovations, human capital development, and new industries that are the engines of jobs, inclusive growth, and shared prosperity for entire economies. At the same time, the world faces the existential challenge of global climate change. The World Bank’s ability to respond to energy challenges and client demand has been supported by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). This year, an additional global crisis arrived in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the World Bank pivoted to provide an emergency response, the challenge for its energy sector...

Wind Resource Assessment Capacity Building Session

Wind energy is one of the more technologically mature forms of renewable energy that Caribbean stakeholders are seeking to deploy as the region transitions to sustainable energy. However, it is almost entirely dependent on location, and the output of a wind farm is highly sensitive to the nature of the resource. How are wind energy resources assessed, and what critical factors should project developers and planners consider? What effects will climate change have on wind project development? The CCREEE hosted a capacity building session on Wind Resource Assessment, to address these questions and more. The session covered the following modules:...
