Grid-Connected Distributed Generation in Africa

This manual on Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) highlights the role technical assistance can play in developing favourable conditions for DRE deployment in Africa, as supported by GIZ projects organised under the Sector Network Energy in Sub-Sahara Africa (SN Energy SSA). It has been prepared under the guidance of the Working Group on Grid-Connected Renewable Energy, the South African-German Energy Programme (SAGEN), Strengthening the Market for Solar Power in Tunisia (RMS) and GET.transform. The manual serves as a reference document for policy-makers and technical assistance providers looking to implement DRE projects.

The Role of Sustainable Energy Access in the Migration Debate

This paper aims to explore interlinkages between sustainable energy access and migration. Firstly, the paper describes the role energy plays in the migration debate. Secondly, it investigates the links between drivers of migration related to energy access before migration occurs. Furthermore, it presents ideas on the contribution sustainable energy access might make, depending on different migration patterns.
