• News 13 October 2023 Implementing and financing climate technologies Countries halfway through the global Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project met in late September to share experiences and receive training on the way towards implementation of climate technologies at a workshop in Cape Town, South Africa. With a focus on how to develop Technology Action Plans (TAPs), implementation and finance was at the forefront of the training. Participating country teams and experts engaged in meaningful discussion on how to overcome challenges at country level,…
• Project 4 October 2022 Smart Energy Solutions for Africa (SESA) Smart Energy Solutions for Africa (SESA) is a collaborative project between the European Union and nine African countries (Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania ) that aims at providing energy access technologies and business models that are easily replicable and generate local opportunities for economic development and social cohesion in Africa. Through several local living labs, it is expected to facilitate the co-development of scalable…
• Publication 5 May 2022 Linking the energy transition and economic development: A framework for analysis of energy transitions in the global South We are observing a significant increase in the deployment of large scale solar and wind technologies in the global south, and it is therefore a strategically and academically important focus of inquiry to understand context-specific spaces for locally-embedded actors to initiate energy transitions. This paper examines the linkages between the energy transition and economic development, and has attempted to do this by developing an approach that brought into focus the institutional micro…
• News 20 September 2021 Corporate community engagement professionals in the renewable energy industry As the development of large-scale wind- and solar projects gathers pace around the world, renewable energy companies are increasingly confronted with demands to engage with local communities in the planning and implementation of their projects. In order to address such expectations, renewable energy companies increasingly employ professionals to facilitate dialogue and collaboration with communities. These practitioners occupy a potentially significant position in the everyday implementation of…

• Project 31 January 2020 Open Source-Based Capability Building in Latecomer Firms (OSCILATE) The spread of the Internet combined with the emergence of open access platforms allows for the wide and rapid diffusion of technical design specifications and codified engineering knowledge, e.g., through open designs, discussion forums, free online courses, and instructional text and videos. In theory, this opens up opportunities for firms in developing countries that previously lacked access to such knowledge to build their technological capabilities, but little empirical knowledge is…
• Event 20 September 2019 TENTRANS Workshop As the largest and first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, REIPPPP offers valuable academic and policy-relevant insights for other countries across the continent and globally that are in the process of designing and adopting similar RE tendering schemes. In particular, important insights can be obtained from studying whether and how REIPPPP has fostered broader developmental objectives. Programme: 9h00 to 9h10 Official welcome Tobias Elling Rehfeld - Ambassador to South Africa, Royal Danish…
