This report by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) analyzes the potential for repurposing abandoned and soon-to-be-closed surface coal mines into solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants. It argues that these sites are ideal for solar development due to their existing proximity to grid infrastructure and the need for land reclamation, offering a pathway to align clean energy goals with local job creation and environmental restoration.

This analysis by Ember examines the status of hybrid solar power plants in Turkey as of the end of 2023, focusing on installed capacity, project pipelines, and the potential for floating solar installations to support national energy goals.

This report by RMI examines the potential for demand-side flexibility (DSF) within China's industrial sector to support the integration of renewable energy and the development of a zero-carbon power system.

This report by the NewClimate Institute examines the potential for Green Public Procurement (GPP) to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in public buildings by replacing conventional air conditioners with Green ACs, while identifying the financial, political, and technical barriers to adoption.

This report by the NewClimate Institute assesses the potential for seven specific countries to increase their greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets to align with the Paris Agreement's goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C.

This fact sheet from the World Resources Institute outlines the renewable energy generation potential in Florida, comparing various power resources across economic and environmental metrics and proposing policy priorities to increase renewable electricity adoption.

This 2009 fact sheet by the World Resources Institute outlines the renewable energy potential for Georgia, estimating that the state could generate an additional 50,000 GWh of electricity from renewable resources, which would represent approximately 40 percent of current electricity sales.

This fact sheet from the World Resources Institute outlines the renewable energy potential in Mississippi, detailing generation capacities for biomass, solar PV, and low-impact hydro, while proposing policy priorities to increase renewable electricity adoption.
