“…The use of spatial analysis as decision support tools could support the definition of general rules for a more functional rural electrification plan at national level in Africa as other studies have demonstrated [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. The georeferenced electrification tool aims to support the Burkina Faso government and development partners to define a coordinated planning for electrification, focusing on different technological choices.…”

“…Results of the analysis indicate that average LCoE can increase considerably with higher fragility (Figure 8). Thus, policy should design (or allow for) flexible tariff schemes that are risk reflective (e.g., off-FiT [79]). Dedicated partial subsidies in fragile areas may be considered to reduce the comparatively higher cost.…”

Roughly two billion people live in areas that regularly suffer from conflict, violence, and instability. Infrastructure development in those areas is very difficult to implement and fund. As an example, electrification systems face major challenges such as ensuring the security of the workforce or reliability of power supply. This paper presents electrification results from an explorative methodology, where the costs and risks of conflict are explicitly considered in a geo-spatial, least cost electrification model. Discount factor and risk premium adjustments are introduced per technology and location in order to examine changes in electrification outlooks in Afghanistan. Findings indicate that the cost optimal electrification mix is very sensitive to the local context; yet, certain patterns emerge. Urban populations create a strong consumer base for grid electricity, in some cases even under higher risk. For peri-urban and rural areas, electrification options are more sensitive to conflict-induced risk variation. In this paper, we identify these inflection points, quantify key decision parameters, and present policy recommendations for universal electrification of Afghanistan by 2030.

“…Feed-in tariffs (FIT) are fixed electricity prices that are paid to renewable energy producers for each unit of energy produced and injected into the electricity grid. Several countries introduced this kind of energy policy [39,40,41,42,43,44,45]. FIT provided by the DM July 4 th 2019 was 0.080 €/kWh, FIT provided by DM July 6 th 2012 and DM June 23 rd 2016 were respectively equal to 0.155 €/kWh and 0.150 €/kWh.…”

The feasibility of hydroelectric plants depends on a variety of factors: water resource regime, geo-graphical, geological and environmental context, available technology, construction cost and eco-nomic value of produced energy. Choices about the building or renewal of hydroelectric plants should be based on the forecast of the future trend of these factors at least during the project life of the system. Focusing on the economic value of the produced energy this paper examines its influ-ence on the feasibility of hydroelectric plants. Analysis, referred to Italian case, were based on three different phases: i) the economic sustainability of small-scale hydroelectric plants under a minimum price guaranteed to the hydroelectric operator; ii) the estimate of the incentives to reach the thresholds of "acceptability" and "bankability" of the investment; iii) the analysis of results ob-tained in the previous phases using a model of the evolution of the electricity price in the period 2014-2100.
