Renewables for Energy Access and Sustainable Development in East Africa /  M. Hafner, S. Tagliapietra, G. Falchetta, and G. Occhial. Springer, April 2019    Free download on :https://www.springer.com/la/book/9783030117344 This short open access book investigates the role of renewable energy in  East Africa to provide policy-relevant inputs for the achievement of a  cost-effective electrification process in the region. For each country,  the authors review the current situation in the domestic power sector,  adopt a GIS-based approach to plot renewable energy resources potential,  and review currently planned projects and projects under development,  as well as the key domestic renewables regulations. Based on such  information, least-cost 100% electrification scenarios by 2030 are then  modelled and comparative results over the required capacity additions  and investment are reported and discussed. The authors also inquire into  some of the key technological, economic, policy, cooperation, and  financing challenges to the development of a portfolio of renewables to  promote energy access in a sustainable way, including a discussion of  the challenges and opportunities that might stem from the interaction  between local RE potential and natural gas resources currently under  development in the region. To conclude, policy recommendations based on  the book’s results and targeted at international cooperation and  development institutions, local policymakers, and private stakeholders  in the region are elaborated. © SpringerA lire aussi : Energy in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities /  M.
