100% urban electrification doesn’t necessarily deliver 24/7 power in some developing countries.
33 years from now, energy will be affordable, renewable, and equitable as demand declines and technology becomes available to everyone.
Spilling hydropower in one country can benefit a neighboring country that lacks power or is relying on diesel.
Solar power was initially installed on rooftops, then on public light fittings, later on land. Now it can be installed on water.
2016 was a successful year for clean energy. How will 2017 shape up?
A simple device can bring off-grid electricity to millions of homes in developing Asia.
The ADB-financed upgrade of a Soviet-era power plant in the Kyrgyz Republic is a continuous logistical nightmare.
This is how we can link the large number of electric vehicles in developed countries with the off-grid solar market in developing countries.
We learn the story of a Kyrgyz small business that could benefit tremendously from off-grid electricity.
