When the Middle East conflict escalated into an open war, the subsequent blockade of the Strait of Hormuz on 4 March sent immediate shockwaves through the global energy market. For the CASE countries—Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam—this represented an existential threat, as one-fifth of global oil and gas supplies normally pass through this chokepoint and Southeast Asian countries import around 56% of their crude oil from the Middle East. The supply blackout and the skyrocketing price of fossil fuels have forced governments to prioritise supply security through domestic reserves, stockpiling, and fuel diversification.

Currently, rooftop solar systems in the Dominican Republic are primarily concentrated in wealthier households that can afford to purchase solar and battery storage systems outright. For this reason, a tiny share of high-income customers control nearly all rooftop solar capacity, with roughly 4.5% of the population accounting for nearly 97% of the installed rooftop solar capacity. This has created an unequal energy transition. The challenge, then, is how to make solar affordable and accessible to the LMI households. The answer lies in community-led solar.

Europe has ambitious solar targets (up to 600 GW solar by 2030) and there is a need for new deployment forms such as agri-solar, floating solar, and building-integrated PV. Main barriers hampering rapid floating solar deployment in Europe include complex and slow permitting processes, high costs and financing challenges and knowledge gaps with respect to risks and environmental impacts. These can be resolved by simplifying and clarifying permitting frameworks, supporting hybrid systems as well as promoting pilots and training.

The rise of AI puts East Asian countries in the spotlight. While AI is expected to be a significant driver of electricity demand, it also has major use cases in the energy sector and can contribute to more efficient and optimal processes. A major area of use is in the electricity system, specifically more optimal integration of VRE sources such as solar PV and wind. Utilising AI effectively in this field is particularly relevant for East Asia since countries have all set net zero targets, even though the targets and timelines for expanding renewable energy sources vary between countries.

As B.C.’s electricity demand grows, a new resource is emerging in homes and businesses across the province: distributed energy resources like EVs, heat pumps, smart thermostats, and smart water heaters that can flexibly manage when electricity is used. The report examines how DERs could contribute to B.C.’s electricity system under multiple future scenarios and finds they can provide grid capacity at lower cost than building new infrastructure—strengthening the case for stronger incentives and programs to scale their adoption.
