A report by Ember detailing how record renewable energy generation in Türkiye during the first five months of 2026 led to a significant reduction in government electricity subsidies for households.

This report analyzes electricity subsidies in India from FY 2016 to FY 2019, evaluating the impact of the Ujjwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) scheme. It finds that direct tariff subsidies increased by 32% during this period, reaching INR 110,391 crore in FY 2019, while most electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) failed to meet financial performance targets regarding revenue recovery and loss reduction.

This research paper, produced by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), examines the financial instability of India's electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. It analyzes how the pandemic exacerbated pre-existing structural issues—such as poor billing, high procurement costs, and inadequate tariff structures—and evaluates the effectiveness of central government stimulus packages and regulatory reforms intended to stabilize the sector and support a sustainable energy transition.

This report, produced by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) in partnership with the CONECC German-Mexican Energy Partnership, identifies and evaluates options for reforming electricity subsidies in Mexico, specifically focusing on residential and agricultural consumers and the associated socioeconomic impacts.
