Global Energy Transformation - The Crucial Role of Renewable Heating, Cooling, and Storage Read more about Global Energy Transformation - The Crucial Role of Renewable Heating, Cooling, and Storage The global energy transformation requires a holistic energy system transition not just for electricity supply, but also a deep and fundamental change to how heat and cooling energy services are provided - all within the larger context of balancing energy supply and demand. This scene-setting presentation drew on the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) recent Global Energy Transformation report and detail a view on how this transition can be scaled up quickly and affordably.
Financing Hybrids – Creating PPAs That Cover Integration of Renewables, Storage and Thermal Read more about Financing Hybrids – Creating PPAs That Cover Integration of Renewables, Storage and Thermal An increasing trend in clean energy is hybridized plants, which are especially applicable for distributed or off-grid generation in developing countries. Hybrid power plants can be combinations of renewable energy with storage, renewables and/or storage added to thermal generation or full-scale microgrid solutions. There are several obstacles when it comes to project finance of hybrids, such as the perceived maturity of storage technologies and the small size of many pilot projects, however, a bigger challenge lies in creating IPP business models that are tailored for hybrids.
