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.

Nigeria Case Study: Financing Instruments for the Mini-Grid Market

This GET.transform case study illustrates Nigeria’s successful approach to establishing large-scale mini-grid programmes. One of the success factors in Nigeria is the development of strong financing instruments, on top of a series of power sector reforms and regulations in place for the development of mini-grids. Nigeria uses both performance based grants and minimum subsidy tenders, with result-based financing (RBF) instruments used under both the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP) and the Rural Electrification Fund (REF), to guarantee consistency in reimbursement of developers’ costs.

Uganda Case Study: A Bundled Approach to Mini-Grid Tendering

This GET.transform case study describes the development of the mini-grid framework in Uganda. The framework is particularly interesting because it integrates several of the main building blocks of mini-grid development, such as planning, financing, licensing and procurement, under a single process and facilitates multi-site development.
