A case study detailing the installation of a 64 kWp solar PV system and 92 kWh battery storage at an educational facility in Mombasa, Kenya, by Burhani Solar to reduce grid dependence and improve energy reliability.

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and Idam Infrastructure Advisory Pvt. Ltd. proposes a system-level framework for planning and implementing distributed renewable energy (DRE) in rural India. Moving beyond fragmented, scheme-driven installations, the study advocates for a 'Model DRE Village' approach that integrates load typology analysis, utility-led planning, and coordinated financing to improve rural electricity reliability and support India's 500 GW non-fossil capacity target by 2030.

This case study describes the design, supply, and installation of a 200.91 kWp commercial grid-tied solar power system by GadgetroniX for the Kunduchi Wet ‘N’ Wild Water Park in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to reduce operational costs and improve energy stability.

Burhani Solar installed a 64 kWp solar PV and 92 kWh battery energy storage system for an educational institution in Mombasa, Kenya, to improve power reliability and reduce operational electricity costs.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics examines how the start of the Iran war and subsequent fossil fuel price shocks have accelerated consumer and government interest in clean energy technologies, specifically solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and electric vehicles (EVs), across six European markets: Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics examines how the European Union's increased investment in wind and solar energy between 2022 and 2025 has reduced its vulnerability to global energy shocks, specifically comparing the impact of the 2022 Russia-Ukraine crisis with a subsequent crisis caused by a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in 2026.

A case study detailing the installation of a 924 kWp rooftop solar PV system by Gham Power for Laxmi Steels in Sunwal, Nepal, to reduce reliance on the grid and diesel generators. The project also serves as a pilot for the GRIPS2 project, integrating a 2 MW / 4 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and an AI-powered Microgrid Management System.

A case study detailing the installation of an 83.16 kWp rooftop solar PV system by Gham Power for Datahub Nepal's data centre in Tilottama, Butwal, to reduce reliance on diesel generators and an unreliable grid.

This case study describes the installation of a 31.6 kWp commercial rooftop solar PV system at KIOCH, a pediatric hospital in Damak, Jhapa, Nepal, to address grid instability and reduce reliance on diesel generators.

This case study describes the installation of a 1.3 MW rooftop solar PV system for Goyal Ispat, a metal factory in Ramgram, Parasi, Nepal, to reduce reliance on the grid and diesel generators.

A case study detailing a project by Village Energy to install solar-hybrid energy systems in 26 Ugandan health centres between January and September 2025 to ensure reliable power for medical oxygen and lighting.

A research paper by ARE Member Phaesun detailing a field study in Kenya on the economic and social viability of solar cooling technologies in agricultural value chains, identifying four distinct operational models and an 'impact capital gap'.

This report by the Climate Bonds Initiative argues that expanding domestic renewable energy is critical for Japan's national security and strategic autonomy. It highlights Japan's high dependence on energy imports and proposes a pathway to achieve 80% to 90% clean power by 2035-2040 to reduce geopolitical vulnerability and economic risk.

This report by the World Resources Institute examines financing models for the electrification of health facilities in India and Kenya using decentralized renewable energy (DRE), specifically solar photovoltaics and battery storage. It analyzes three primary models—asset ownership, lease-to-own, and energy-as-a-service—highlighting the need to shift from a reliance on upfront grants toward innovative, shared-risk financing to ensure long-term operational sustainability and maintenance.

The Western Cape Market Intelligence Report 2026 identifies a total investable renewable energy (RE) opportunity of R37.4 billion across approximately 2.35 GW of new capacity by 2030. While the region faces severe grid constraints, regulatory reforms in 2025—specifically the approval of congestion curtailment and transmission build-out timelines—have created new windows for large-scale wind and solar projects, as well as behind-the-meter (BTM) installations for businesses.

This technical brief outlines a strategic roadmap for Jharkhand's economic transition to align with India's net-zero goals, focusing on diversifying a mining-dependent economy through four high-potential green sectors to mitigate future revenue and employment losses.

This case study by Ember analyses the economic viability of 10 MW solar PV projects in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam. It examines how Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) pricing, capital expenditures (CAPEX), and the integration of battery storage influence the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), while also discussing policy bottlenecks and regulatory reforms aimed at derisking clean energy investments in the ASEAN region.

This policy brief by Ember responds to Indonesia’s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) Progress Report 2025. It argues that Indonesia must adopt more ambitious emission targets, specifically by integrating the captive power sector into peaking emission scenarios and accelerating the retirement of coal plants. The document highlights the potential for solar PV to replace ageing captive coal plants and emphasizes the need for a just transition that provides economic diversification and investment in coal-producing provinces to mitigate fiscal and employment risks.

This case study describes a 2024 project implemented by Burhani Solar under the Go Blue Programme to provide off-grid solar energy, water purification, and cold chain infrastructure to Beach Management Units (BMUs) along the coast of Kenya.

The Renewables Bulletin: BRICS Edition provides data on the energy transition across BRICS nations, highlighting the dominant role of China in renewable electricity generation and capacity, while noting varying levels of progress in solar and wind adoption across the bloc.
