Electric Vehicle Charging Regulation

GET.transform provides a short paper on international experiences to help inform effective regulation for electric vehicle (EV) charging. EVs, especially when combined with renewable energy, have great potential to decarbonise the transportation sector. At the same time, regulators are faced with the complex challenge of drawing up new regulation to cater to all aspects of these new mobility and grid use patterns.

Towards A Climate-Resilient Energy Infrastructure in Central America

Focusing on Honduras, this study (available in Spanish) has investigated how the electricity sector in Central America could become more resilient to climate extremes. The report, published by the Central American Integration System (SICA) in cooperation with the Energy Ministry of Honduras (SEN) and supported through a Leveraged Partnership with GET.transform, assesses the climate vulnerability of the Honduran power system and makes recommendations to increase its robustness.

PV Generation Hosting Capacity in Dominican Distribution Grids

The “Proyecto Transición Energética” has provided capacity building on technical integration issues of PV in the distribution grid and analysed the maximum PV penetration levels on a number of representative, real distribution feeders in the Dominican Republic. The resulting study, realised through a Leveraged Partnership with GET.transform, provides recommendations to improve the current regulatory landscape for distributed generation.

Scenarios for the Energy Transition

Energy scenarios developed in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are not limited to technical and economic parametres but increasingly include social and environmental factors that reflect the complexities of a clean energy transition. This is one of the findings recognised in this report which summarises the webinar series Long-Term Energy Scenarios (LTES) for Developing National Clean Energy Transition Plans in Latin America and the Caribbean jointly organised by IRENA, UN ECLAC and GET.transform in 2021.
