☀️🏥🔋 How can healthcare facilities (HCFs) in Ghana be electrified using photovoltaic mini-grids to enhance their energy self-sufficiency and reliability of services provided? A new RLI publication on the electrification of healthcare facilities in Ghana shows answers to these questions. With the EnerShelf project, researchers Avia Linke, Katrin Lammers and Catherina Cader form our research unit Off-Grid Systems and former RLI-researcher Esteban Andrés Andrade aimed to identify suitable HCFs for electrification and categorized them into two groups: those with and those without or with poor access to electricity supply. The study also identified settlements within their catchment area and determined the electricity demand for the HCF sites and their surrounding communities. Here are the key findings: 📌 The research assessed the most suitable mini-grid system setup to electrify identified HCF sites and evaluated the impact of including the demand of surrounding communities into the energy system modelling. 📌 The study highlights the importance of integrated planning between the health and energy sectors to ensure high-quality health services. 📌 Solar mini-grids were identified as a promising solution for electrifying HCFs and improving energy self-sufficiency. 📌 The study emphasizes the need to balance energy flow and stabilize the energy system through the combined demand of HCFs and surrounding communities. 📌 Careful assessment of electricity demand based on context-specific characteristics, such as the type of HCF and the number of households, is essential. 📝 Link to the study: https://lnkd.in/gTmp2JXK 🌍 The results can also be used on our interactive web-map: https://lnkd.in/ejJRgmMg #EnerSHelF #photovoltaic #offgrid #minigrid #electrification #healthcarefacilities

India's ambitious pursuit of 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030 demands a more robust power market. While grid infrastructure has been cumbersome, realizing the benefits of power market integration hinges on regional market design and regulatory governance. Presently, over 27 cross-border connections link Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, offering potential access to Nepal's significant hydroelectric potential via an improved trade framework. However, three primary forms of power trade pose distinct regulatory challenges: (i) tenant generation; (ii) bilateral power purchase agreements (PPAs); (iii) integrated market exchange. While India primarily emphasises capitalizing on the potential of integrated power exchanges, regional trends worldwide suggest “market coupling” as a conceptual tool to achieve such integration. Europe's market coupling with Belgium, France, and the Netherlands has revolutionised cross-border capacity use since 2006. Europe boasts interconnected markets through the North-Western Europe Price Coupling, South-Western Europe Price Coupling and Price Coupling of Regions Initiative, guided by the Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management Regulation 2015. This regulation sets standards for transmission system operators, nominated electricity market operators, and regulatory authorities, fostering an integrated electricity market.   Market coupling balanced energy over vast areas, allowed geographic and technical diversity exploitation, and reduced aggregate imbalances across Europe. Integration of Europe’s electricity markets could potentially augment the region’s social welfare funds by 16 billion euros to 43 billion euros annually by 2030. #energytransition #marketintegration #marketcoupling #crossbordertrade #electricgrid #regionalcooperation #gridintegration #capacityallocation

Deregulation for Innovation: How Africa's Energy Sector is Benefiting -Exciting news for Africa's energy sector! Deregulation is creating a wave of innovation across the continent, paving the way for a more efficient, sustainable, and competitive energy landscape. -Deregulation is unlocking opportunities for Independent Power Producers (IPPs), attracting investment and making renewable energy more accessible: 1.Countries like Nigeria and Kenya are leading the charge with new regulations enabling IPPs to supply electricity directly to consumers and participate in cross-border trading. 2.South Africa is a prime example of deregulation's success, with innovations like self-generation, electricity wheeling, and IPP-driven energy storage taking root. -Collaboration is key! Successful deregulation requires working together – IPPs, regulators, and stakeholders – to tailor solutions for each country's unique needs. -Challenges of Deregulation: 1.Lack of Infrastructure: Many African countries lack the robust infrastructure needed for a fully deregulated market. Transmission lines may be inadequate, and distribution networks might be inefficient. 2.Regulatory Capacity: Effectively overseeing a deregulated market requires skilled regulators. Building this capacity can be a hurdle, especially for smaller nations. 3.Market Dominance: Deregulation could lead to a situation where large companies dominate the market, squeezing out smaller players and potentially reducing competition. -Opponents' Arguments: 1.Focus on Profit Over Public Good: Critics worry deregulation could prioritize short-term profits for companies over long-term goals like universal access to affordable electricity. 2.Environmental Concerns: A deregulated market might incentivize companies to cut corners on environmental measures to reduce costs. 3.Social Impact: Rapid deregulation could lead to job losses in the traditional energy sector, requiring effective social safety nets to manage the transition. -While deregulation is gaining momentum, it's important to acknowledge that some African countries are still in the early stages. Building robust infrastructure, establishing strong regulatory frameworks, and ensuring a just transition are crucial for success. #Africa #Energy #Deregulation #RenewableEnergy #Innovation
