“…Lastly, innovative fund-raising systems need to be established to create accessible finance. Access to finance is a prevailing global challenge in rural electrification (Shi et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2019). While the financial inputs of both the government and households are necessary, they often suffer from a lack of financial resources.…”

“…While there is a wide consensus on the interlinkage between poverty and energy access, little work has been done to solve both issues simultaneously at a large scale (Shi et al, 2016). Building on its success in developing the PV industry (Zhu et al, 2019), China's PV Energy Policy, 2019, 135：111011 Poverty Alleviation Initiate (hereafter, the Program) may provide an archetype model that can simultaneously achieve the two SDG goals.…”

Poverty reduction and access to clean energy are two challenges highlighted in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. China's Photovoltaic (PV) Poverty Reduction Program provides an archetype model to address those two questions simultaneously. Using a tripartite game of government, enterprise and household, this paper examines the challenges that have impeded the development of China's PV poverty alleviation program. Based on an evolutionary game model and the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) model involving the three major parties, this study shows that: (1) Governmental monitoring and the active participation of both enterprises and households are essential to achieve a win-win-win outcome; (2) The government plays a leading role in monitoring and encouraging the active participation of enterprises and households and resolving the conflicts between enterprises and households; and (3) Households should have a minimum share in the project. The analyses imply the following policy suggestions such as ensuring optimal path selection for all parties, avoiding the abandonment of projects, increasing households' sense of ownership and creating accessible finance.

“…Basing on the results of this stage it is then possible to define the portfolio of energy sources and solve the issues of interoperability between the conventional and renewable energy sources in a reliable and safely manner [109][110][111][112]. After that the questions of practical implementation (e.g., from the technical and economic points of view) and support from the government take their place [113][114][115][116]. Finally, the issues of the overall assessment of the success of decarbonization of the economy are considered in the literature [70,[117][118][119].…”

Clean Energy Sources: Insights from Russia

et al. 2019

The paper is devoted to the assessment of the prospects of implementing clean energy sources in Russia, where the current energy policy goal is to increase the role of renewable and clean energy sources. The research is based on data from the Krasnoyarsk Region as one of the largest territories but also as a representative model of Russia. The aim of the study is to identify where and which renewable energy source (solar, wind, hydro and nuclear) has the highest potential. The novelty of our research lies in its holistic nature: authors consider both geographical and technical potential for renewable energy sources development as well as prospective demand for such resources, while previous research is mostly focused on specific aspects of renewable energy development. We also consider the level of air pollution as an important factor for the development of renewable energy sources. The results of the study show that there is a strong potential for clean energy sources in the Krasnoyarsk Region. The resulting matrix identifies the potential of energy sources across all the municipal entities and also indicates whether the source of energy is primary or supplemental and where several sources may be implemented in cooperation.

“…For example, fossil energy sources have an established infrastructure that NRE does not have, allowing rapid development of massive energy provision. On the other hand, NRE enables implementing an off-grid electricity system that is more suitable for an archipelagic country like Indonesia (Asri & Yusgiantoro, 2020b;Hiendro et al, 2013;Shi et al, 2016;Veldhuis & Reinders, 2015). However, as the budget deficiency is still the major constraint, energy provision tends to prioritize the cheaper one, fossil energy (MEMR, 2012; PT PLN, 2018) with less capital-intensive production (Ekholm et al, 2013).…”

<p class="Els-history-head">The energy security principle demands the fulfillment of availability, acceptability, affordability, accessibility, and sustainability. Under the financial constraints, it is very challenging to achieve. As a result, immediate decisions, often only based on the lowest cost neglecting the overall impacts, are taken. This study aims to reveal the energy provision dilemma through a literature review method and simple calculation analysis. This study intends to exemplify how to conduct an equitable analysis by comparing wind and coal power plants’ impacts from the economic, environmental, and social perspectives. This study finds that the mutually complement characteristics of NRE (New and Renewable Energy) and non-NRE (fossil energy sources) raise a dilemma in selecting the energy source, where the financial constraints exaggerate the dilemma. The study also finds that the electricity generating cost of coal is cheaper than wind, but the external costs turn over the result. Coal damages the environment more than wind, but the impacts are often neglected, and society bears the cost. A simple adsorption method could minimize the impacts, but it depends on the producers’ willingness to conduct, which eventually by the consumers’ willingness to pay the higher price. In the social aspect, both power plants have relatively more equal indirect impacts, but coal’s direct impacts are more detrimental than wind. While an energy source may excel the other, considering the specific circumstances is a must. Financial constraints aggravate the developing countries’ dilemma between achieving energy security or fulfilling the basic needs and pursuing economic growth</p>
