Insights: what to watch and read
In the run-up to the Future of Energy, we delved together with our partner Solarplaza into key topics that keep the renewable energy space moving.

Pioneering the Future of Energy storage in emerging markets
Energy storage is fundamental to creating a more intelligent, reliable, and flexible energy future, and will be a crucial enabler for the energy transition in emerging markets. As renewable energy generation capacity expands and energy demand rises—due to rapid population growth and electrification of more parts of society—energy storage will become essential in the emerging markets of Pacific Asia, Latin America, and Africa. However, energy storage deployment has been very limited in those regions to date.
In the run-up to the Future of Energy summit, we gathered 3 pioneers in the energy storage space to share their lessons learned in a very insightful webinar. The webinar provided a regional outlook on energy storage development and highlighted the key drivers and barriers to storage deployment in emerging markets both from a developers as a financiers perspective.

Distributed energy in developing nations
In developing countries, the scarcity or even absence of a (stable and reliable) grid is the number one hurdle in reaching energy access for all. That said, the role distributed energy plays is gaining traction both for homes in rural areas as well as for corporates in urban areas.
As a prelude to our upcoming Future of Energy summit in Amsterdam, this new report assessed two distinctive approaches to distributed energy generation: minigrids and rooftop solar for commercial and industrial users (C&I). These two vital applications offer resilient and cost-effective solutions to bolster energy access and economic activity in emerging markets.
The report highlights the opportunities and challenges of their deployment and some of the business models that help in realizing projects. Expert interviews complement the report with insights from the field.

Accelerating RE growth: C&I project development in Asia
This informative webinar delved into the dynamic landscape of commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy project development in Asia. As the global transition towards sustainable practices gains momentum, the role of corporates and C&I projects becomes increasingly pivotal in fostering green energy adoption and driving economic growth in emerging economies.
