  • Smart Villages in West Africa: Accra Regional Workshop Report
    Smart Villages in West Africa: Accra regional workshop report Workshop Report 20 May 2016 ACCRA, GHANA Key words: West Africa, Energy Access, Rural Development, Off-grid energy Smart Villages We aim to provide policymakers, donors, and development agencies concerned with rural energy access with new insights on the real barriers to energy access in villages in developing countries— technological, financial and political—and how they can be overcome. We have chosen to focus on remote off-grid villages, where local solutions (home- or institution-based systems and mini-grids) are both more realistic and cheaper than national grid extension. Our concern is to ensure that energy access results in development and the creation of “smart villages” in which many of the benefits of life in modern societies are available to rural communities. www.e4sv.org | [email protected] | @e4SmartVillages CMEDT – Smart Villages Initiative, c/o Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ Publishing © Smart Villages 2016 The Smart Villages Initiative is being funded by the Cambridge Malaysian Education and Development Trust (CMEDT) and the Malaysian Commonwealth Studies Centre (MCSC) and through a grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation (TWCF).

Russia's use of outdated vessels to build its controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline could lead to a catastrophe, according to a report by Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service published on April 2.

Russia is forced to use its decaying fleet because economic sanctions against the project discouraged other participants. This creates an ecological disaster risk, the intelligence service stated. 'The use of technologically obsolete vessels and equipment in the future increases the likelihood of a man-made disaster with environmental consequences on a regional scale at any peak load," the report reads.

  • US Tells Greece to Reject Moscow’
    US Tells Greece To Reject Moscow’s Pipeline Proposal Marking Return To Cold War Politics By Zero Hedge Region: Europe, Russia and FSU, USA Global Research, May 10, 2015 Theme: Global Economy, Oil and Energy Zero Hedge Over the course of Greece’s painful and protracted negotiations with European creditors, Athens has sought, at various times when a deal seems to be slipping away, to play the Russian pivot card. What began as a series of diplomatic overtures between the Tsipras government and Moscow quickly turned more serious once rumors began to swirl around Greece’s potential participation in Russia’s Turkish Stream pipeline which, as a reminder, will allow Russia to bypass Bulgaria by piping gas through Turkey, then through Greece, Serbia, and Hungary straight to the Austrian central hub. In short order, it leaked that Moscow was set to advance Greece $5 billion against the future potential profits from the pipeline, a payment which we characterized as a get-out-of-Troika- jail free card and although conflicting reports emerged thereafter regarding just how soon money would actually be flowing from Moscow to Athens, discussions around the pipeline continued to move forward when Gazprom chief Alexei Millervisited Greece late last month to discuss “current energy issues of interest.” That visit proved more than Europe could bear, and so the European Commission promptly filed antitrust charges against the Russian gas giant in an absurdly transparent attempt to punish the Kremlin for interfering in negotiations between the EU and its Aegean debt serf. Now with negotiations between Athens and creditors still fraught with uncertainty, and with the IMF now reportedly at odds with the rest of the Troika over appropriate bailout terms, another interested party is stepping into the melee because, as NY Times reports, fresh off a humiliating political defeat at the hands of China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, Washington is in no mood to see the birthplace of Western civilization co-opted by a Russian natural gas firm.

    12 POWERING THE US–INDIA ENERGY RELATIONSHIP Nisha Biswal S–India energy cooperation is positioned to be one of the fastest growing areas of the strategic and commercial Urelationship over the next twenty years. While the US is still listed as the fastest oil consuming nation in the world and India works fiercely to build out its capacity to meet its still growing domestic demands, both countries are pursuing all-of-the-above energy strategies that are focused on increasing energy access and energy security both domestically and abroad. "is includes pursuing diversification of energy resources, supporting advancement of energy technology in relation to both renewable and non-renewable sources, and increasing the focus on the Indo-Pacific region as a hub for trade. Energy cooperation has long played an important role in the bilateral relationship, touching nearly all aspects of the broader strategic partnership. Since 2005, the US and India have engaged in a productive bilateral energy dialogue and over the past decade that dialogue has expanded to include multiple government agencies, national labs, universities and other stakeholders. Year after year, the portfolio of partnerships and programmes to increase 207 935_Energizing India with number.indd 207 1/30/2019 12:33:14 PM ENERGIZING INDIA our energy cooperation grew to include research and development programmes in building efficiency, joint partnerships between the US and India-based companies in the oil and gas industry, applications and development of retrofitting technology for the power sector, new technology and storage solutions for renewable energy, resource management technology to bolster sustainable growth, clean coal investment, civil nuclear cooperation and programmes in multilateral fora such as Mission Innovation and the Clean Energy Ministerial.
