Towards An Inclusive Mindanao Energy Transition: RETS project

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization is currently implementing the Renewable energy technologies for seaweed value added in Tawi-Tawi (RETS) project, funded by the European Union. The project involves the installation of two (2) renewable energy hybrid systems in the islands of Sitangkai and Sibutu, Tawi-tawi, comprised of solar panels, lithium-ion batteries, diesel generators and smart energy management systems.

Multi-Actor Partnership for Inclusive Energy Transition

Energy transition from biomass and fossil fuel to renewable energy is must to achieve Nepal’s target to achieve ‘net zero emission’ by 2045. The transition needs to be participatory and inclusive and requires multi-disciplinary outlook. Multi-actor partnership (MAP) for 100 % Renewable Energy is a platform of 40+ organizations and experts working on energy and climate change in Nepal to facilitate the policy dialogues for developing long-term transition processes to 100% RE.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Grid Flexibility Asset of Today

The pursuit towards a Low-Carbon and Resilient Future is critical for our future. While technologies like Battery-based Energy Storage System (BESS) can address several grid challenges, they often dubbed as the more costly solution than traditional alternatives. But it is now becoming more known that BESS can be a more cost-effective solution if planned, coordinated and managed accordingly.
