The Papua New Guinea Electrification Partnership: Power and diplomacy in the Pacific

Vigya Sharma et al.

Summary: Papua New Guinea has one of the world's lowest rates of energy access at 13%. The PNG Electrification Partnership, signed by Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and the USA in late 2018, aims to electrify 70% of the population by 2030. This unprecedented multilateral initiative represents a major shift in political synergies between and amongst members of the Global North and South.

Electrification and renewable energy nexus in developing countries; an overarching analysis of hydrogen production and electric vehicles integrality in renewable energy penetration

Olusola Bamisile et al.

Summary: This study explores the comprehensive electricity generation analysis based on an hourly time-step to address the electrification crisis in developing countries. It presents feasible pathways for sustainable electrification by considering financial feasibility, environmental sustainability, and technical viability of different technological combinations. The integration of renewable energy sources and fossil fuel sources is analyzed in the specific context of Nigeria, with proposed solutions including natural gas power plants, on-shore wind power plants, solar photovoltaic systems, and other renewable energy technologies.

Population cluster data to assess the urban-rural split and electrification in Sub-Saharan Africa

Babak Khavari et al.

Summary: This study proposes a method to translate high-resolution raster population data into vector-based population clusters, with unique characteristics such as population, electrification rate, and urban-rural classification. Results show that modeled national electrification rates are consistent with those reported by the World Bank, and the urban/rural classification has an accuracy of 88%.
