The Clean Energy Financing Partnership Facility (CEFPF or the Facility) was established by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in April 2007, to assist developing member countries (DMCs) improve energy security and transit to low-carbon use through cost-effective investments, particularly in technologies that result in greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation (Appendix 1). CEFPF is composed of the Clean Energy Fund (CEF), the Asian Clean Energy Fund (ACEF), the Carbon Capture and Storage Fund (CCSF) and the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in Asia (CFPS).1 The Facility contributes to the energy sector in achieving the scaled up ADB’s annual target set in September 2015 - ADB pledged to double its annual climate financing to $6 billion by 2020, with $4 billion for climate mitigation and $2 billion for climate adaptation. The energy sector aims to contribute about $3 billion to climate mitigation. The overall implementation progress and operational results of CEFPF from 1 January to 31 December 2018, measured against the design and monitoring framework (DMF), are provided in this 2018 Annual Report.2 The DMF is attached as Appendix 2. 2. CEFPF Progress towards Targets. The Facility’s progress towards the 2020 targets is encouraging as it continues to provide critical financial support to clean energy projects. In 2018, the Facility financed investment projects and technical assistance to leverage financing in clean energy infrastructures and conduct capacity building. Since the Facility was established, it has allocated $258.4 million to support 187 projects3 covering 37 DMCs and leveraging about $6.7 billion of clean energy investment. The Facility is expected to contribute about 10.3 terawatt-hour equivalent (TWh-eq) per year of energy savings, 1,567.8 megawatt (MW) installed renewable energy capacity, 5.3 TWh per year of renewable energy generation and 23.5 million tons of carbon dioxide (tCO2) emission reduction per year (Figure 1). 3. Deployment of Renewable Energy Technologies. In 2018, the Facility supported the deployment of technologies that would increase the use of renewable energy in the DMCs. The Facility will introduce floating solar photovoltaic (PV) technology in Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and the Kyrgyz Republic through the projects Viet Nam: Floating Solar Project and Regional: Floating Solar Energy Development Project. The Facility also supported technologies that enable the integration of renewable energy to the grid, such as energy storage system and energy management system, in the project Viet Nam: Battery Energy Storage System and Renewable Energy Forecasting.

  • Mnre Annual Report (2010
    1.1 India’s substantial and sustained economic growth is placing enormous demand on its energy resources. The demand and supply imbalance in energy sources is pervasive requiring serious efforts by Government of India (GoI) to augment energy supplies. India imports about 80% of its oil. There is a threat of these increasing further, creating serious problems for India’s future energy security. There is also a significant risk of lesser thermal capacity being installed on account of lack of indigenous coal in the coming years because of both production and logistic constraints, and increased dependence on imported coal. Significant accretion of gas reserves and production in recent years is likely to mitigate power needs only to a limited extent. Difficulties of large hydro are increasing and nuclear power is also beset with problems. The country thus faces possible of severe energy supply constraints. 1.2 Economic growth, increasing prosperity and urbanization, rise in per capita consumption, and spread of energy access are the factors likely to substantially increase the total demand for electricity. In the last six decades, inspite of substantial increase in installed electricity capacity in India, demand has outstripped supply. Thus, there is an emerging energy supply-demand imbalance. Already, in the electricity sector, official peak deficits are of the order of 12.7%, which could increase over the long term. 1.3 In view of electricity supply shortages, huge quantities of diesel and furnace oil are being used by all sectors – industrial, commercial, institutional or residential. Lack of rural lighting is leading to large-scale use of kerosene.

    http://dx.doi.org/10.4322/pmd.2013.004 Open innovation practices in the development of wind energy supply chain: an exploratory analysis of the literature Mario Orestes Aguirre González, Marcela Squires Galvão, Samira Yusef Araújo de Falani, Joeberson dos Santos Gonçalves, Lorena Tâmara Sena da Silva Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The open innovation approach and its practice in technological innovation projects have been revealed in the literature and observed in practice companies as an old phenomenon. What differentiates its current use is that today its practice occurs in a systematic and formalized form in companies. This paper carried out a bibliographic‑exploratory research about the wind power supply chain and it analyzes how technological innovations made their development possible. The study focuses specifically on exploring within the technological innovations occurred in the chain wind power, as the innovative approach followed by developers organizations. Results indicate that open innovation practices were essential for the success of economic and technological feasibility for the development of such chain, primarily by what happened partnership between the manufacturers of major components (aero generators, towers, blades) wind energy, research institutes, laboratories, universities and federal governments through incentive policies.
