Generation capacity expansion planning with spatially-resolved electricity dema...
Bissiri, Mounirah; Moura, Pedro; Perez, Ricardo Cunha; Figueiredo, Nuno Carvalho; Silva, Patrícia Pereira daPower pooling has emerged as a regional strategy for accelerating generation capacity expansion in West Africa with the aim of leveraging vast domestic energy resources and promoting investment in regional power infrastructure. As part of their climate action pledges, most West African countries have committed to increasing the shares of variable renewable energy (VRE), particularly solar photovoltaic and wind ...
Are West Africa's policy, planning, and regulatory frameworks missing the harmo...
Bissiri, Mounirah; Silva, Patrícia Pereira da; Moura, Pedro Manuel Soares; Figueiredo, Nuno CarvalhoSound policy, planning and quality regulation are cornerstones to co-creating national markets conducive to the implementation of an efficient regional electricity market. This study examines the policy, planning and regulatory substance and processes in the West African Power Pool, focusing on four countries, namely Burkina Faso, Cote ˆ d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Mali. Through its specialized institutions, the regio...
A geospatial approach towards defining cost-optimal electrification pathways in...
Bissiri, Mounirah; Moura, Pedro; Figueiredo, Nuno Carvalho; Silva, Patrícia Pereira daWest Africa holds some of the lowest electrification rates in sub-Saharan Africa with high disparities among countries and between urban and rural areas. Despite long-standing efforts to scale-up electrification levels, overall progress remains slow and highly cost-ineffective. Hence, it is crucial that electricity planning processes primarily address the questions of the complementarity between utility-scale a...
An econometric analysis of the drivers for residential heating consumption in t...
Bissiri, Mounirah; Reis, Inês F. G.; Figueiredo, Nuno Carvalho; Silva, Patrícia Pereira daAffecting millions of Europeans, energy poverty is increasingly high on the political agenda. This paper compares space and water heating demand at household level in Germany and in the United Kingdom (UK) between 1991 and 2015. The elasticities of consumption of space and water heating with respect to price, income and heating degree days (HDD) are examined using non-parametric models. Domestic heating consump...
