Tenemos la intención de analizar las contribuciones nacionales determinadas de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia y Perú bajo la perspectiva de la energía, que es nuestra expertise. Estos países representan 95% de las actividades de la Schneider Electric en América del Sur, entonces nuestra contribución en términos de participación del mercado sería más relevante allá. Buscamos oportunidades para mejorar las metas de reducción de emisiones en estos países, al analizar profundamente cuales son las políticas nacionales de energía ya implantadas o a camino de la implementación. Nosotros compartimos los puntos clave de este estudio al respecto de la estructura reguladora para establecer una matriz de energía, evolución de eficiencia y como los países están resolviendo la última milla de necesidad de la población en términos de acceso a la energía.

There is growing interest in taking advantage of the declining costs of both PV and energy storage technologies to create combined “PV plus storage” power plants. Yet there has been limited deployment of utility-scale PV plus storage systems, and technical and economic performance metrics for utility-scale PV plus storage systems are not well defined. To help create a common framework for future discussion and analysis, we explore the technical and economic performance of utility-scale PV plus storage systems.

The present Implementation Plan 2017-2020 (IP 17-20) has been elaborated in a very close collaboration with the ETIP-SNET Working Groups and submitted to public consultation from 3 July to 10 August 2017. It aims at listing the short-term priorities for R&I in ETIP SNET’s scope and as defined in the DoI (Declaration of Intent) for key action 4 of the SET Plan (Increase the resilience, security and smartness of the energy system).

The main feature of the roadmap is to address flexibility by considering several options (cf. Figure on the side), both for transmission and distribution systems, such as sector interfaces (electricity-gas and electricity-heat for instance), flexible thermal and RES generation, and storage. Other flexibility means and enablers such as digitalisation are also covered.

A key lesson from this report is that well-designed policy works. We are seeing plenty of good examples from all over the world and that is why the IEA is putting more emphasis on best practice policy exchange and helping countries learn from one another to focus on attacking the remaining 68% of global energy use not covered by codes or standards. This is the reasoning behind our new Global Exchange Platform for Energy Efficiency, which I am confident will help people better understand energy efficiency trends and the policies that shape them.

Electricity storage will play a crucial role in enabling the next phase of the energy transition. Along with boosting solar and wind power generation, it will allow sharp decarbonisation in key segments of the energy market.

As variable renewables grow to substantial levels, electricity systems will require greater flexibility. At very high shares of VRE, electricity will need to be stored over days, weeks
or months. By providing these essential services, electricity storage can drive serious electricity decarbonisation and help transform the whole energy sector.

Future energy systems will rely on a large array of services based on effective, economical electricity storage. This plethora of service needs, with varying performance
requirements, suggests an important role for many different storage technologies.

The IEA and IRENA separately have examined the investment needs for energy sector pathways that would foster putting the world on track towards a significant reduction in energy-related GHG emissions until the middle of this century. Each institution has developed one core scenario that would be compatible with limiting the rise in global mean temperature to 2°C by 2100 with a probability of 66%, as a way of contributing to the “well below 2°C” target of the Paris Agreement. Both the IEA and IRENA analyses start with the same carbon budget for the energy sector. But the pathways to reaching the goal differ between the two analyses.

This is the amazing finding of this path-breaking book edited by Tiago Peixoto and Micah Sifry, Civic Tech in the Global South, the first systematic empirical analysis of the resulting impact of technologies for citizen engagement on governing. Using both qualitative and quantitative analysis, the different authors confirm that there is a lack of clear evidence that citizen participation produces institutional response. Whether the focus is technology to support aggregated individual assessments, such as complaint hotlines, or tools for collective action and mobilization, Peixoto and Sifry’s book rigorously lays bare that so-called “civic tech” in most cases is not producing changes in governing outcomes any more than old-fashioned dialogues in a church basement.

2017 marks the 20^th edition of the Key World Energy Statistics (KWES) – the annual booklet of the IEA’s most used statistics. This milestone’s edition has been enriched with more information on energy efficiency and renewables, more geographic data and also more of the fundamental data required to fully understand energy security.

Key World Energy Statistics contains timely, clearly presented data on the supply, transformation and consumption of all major energy sources for the main regions of the world, proving everyone with an interest in energy key statistics on more than 150 countries and regions including energy indicators, energy balances, prices, RDD and CO₂ emissions as well as energy forecasts.

GFEI’s latest fuel economy benchmarking study, which examines global progress in improving average fuel economy over the decade from 2005 to 2015. The new report is unique in its scale and comprehensiveness, covering more than 80% of the global vehicle market. It extends and enhances previous research that GFEI has published regularly since 2011 by including a longer time series, an updated in-depth exploration of fuel economy drivers in 17 countries and a new section on trends in vehicle prices globally.
