Improving health and reducing costs through renewable energy in India

Elec­tric­i­ty gen­er­a­tion in India is still large­ly coal-based. In this sense, the pow­er sec­tor is an impor­tant con­trib­u­tor to ambi­ent air pol­lu­tion. At the same time, ambi­ent air pol­lu­tion has emerged as the sec­ond lead­ing health risk fac­tor in India, con­tribut­ing sig­nif­i­cant­ly to India’s bur­den of car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­eases, chron­ic res­pi­ra­to­ry dis­eases and low­er res­pi­ra­to­ry tract […]

Secure and reliable electricity access with renewable energy mini-grids in rural India

Ener­gy access is essen­tial for eco­nom­ic and human devel­op­ment and is an impor­tant dri­ver for the progress of India. Access to mod­ern forms of ener­gy becomes even more impor­tant for the socio-eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment of rur­al areas. To achieve “full elec­tri­fi­ca­tion” suc­ces­sive Indi­an gov­ern­ments have focussed on pro­vid­ing access by extend­ing the cen­tralised grid. Although a […]

Future skills and job creation with renewable energy in India

India has made sig­nif­i­cant progress in util­is­ing its abun­dant renew­able ener­gy (RE) resources. The coun­try has emerged as one of the lead­ers of the glob­al ener­gy tran­si­tion, with a cumu­la­tive renew­able ener­gy installed capac­i­ty of 74 gigawatts (GW) at the end of 2018, and has ambi­tions to meet a tar­get of 175 GW by the […]

Factsheet: Soziale und wirtschaftliche Chancen der Energiewende [German]

Ohne die Energiewende kön­nen Deutsch­lands Kli­maziele nicht erre­icht wer­den. Die Rich­tung stimmt bere­its, aber es geht nicht schnell genug voran. Dabei gibt es neben dem Kli­maschutz noch viele weit­ere gute Argu­mente für Erneuer­bare Energien – zum Beispiel saubere Luft, zukun­fts­fähige Arbeit­splätze und eine faire Regiona­len­twick­lung. Das Fact­sheet gibt einen Überblick über die Co-Ben­e­­­fits eines ambitionierten […]

Implementing the Co-benefits approach in India

Due to sus­tain­able devel­op­ment and cli­mate lit­er­a­ture, the co-ben­e­­­fits approach can be under­stood as the study­ing, imple­ment­ing and repli­cat­ing of pos­i­tive exter­nal­i­ties of an action. Aayushi Awasthy and Kavya Bajaj (TERI), COBENEFITS Focal Point India, high­light that the co-ben­e­­­fits approach presents itself as an excep­tion­al­ly apt main­stream­ing prac­tice for ini­ti­at­ing such an approach, where resources […]

Economic prosperity for marginalised communities through renewable energy in South Africa

South Africa’s renew­able ener­gy (RE) pro­cure­ment pol­i­cy is glob­al­ly unique in its empha­sis on pro­vid­ing ben­e­fits for com­mu­ni­ties in the vicin­i­ty of projects par­tic­i­pat­ing in the RE Inde­pen­dent Pow­er Pro­duc­er Pro­cure­ment Pro­gramme (REIPPPP). RE projects are pri­mar­i­ly locat­ed in rur­al com­mu­ni­ties, fre­quent­ly cat­e­gorised as “mar­gin­alised com­mu­ni­ties”. The REIPPPP has cre­at­ed a legal frame­work to incentivise […]
