This is the seventh session of a series which introduces one of the tools for energy and CO2 Modelling developed by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s REmap programme - IRENA REmap. The Excel® based REmap tool as well as the FlexTool allows IRENA’s analysts and national experts to evaluate and create a country-level analysis to assess renewable energy technology options on sector level. The tool provides a simplified but dynamic accounting framework to create and evaluate energy system developments and costs at sector (power, transport, industry, buildings) and technology level. It primarily provides renewable energy scenario analysis and has...
A video highlighting how the CARICOM Regional Energy Efficiency Building Code (CREEBC) can help you build resiliently and, save money at the same time.
The power sector remains especially vulnerable to natural disasters and extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. Planning ahead and investing in resilience to mitigate climate and disaster risks in the power sector can help minimize infrastructure damage and yield savings during recovery from a natural disaster. Conducting an in-depth climate and disaster risk screening (CDRS) during the planning and preparation stages of energy infrastructure projects is a crucial first step to building resilience. Data sharing, knowledge exchange, and awareness building on CDRS can substantially improve the screening process, while also helping to bring resilience to the forefront of energy...
