Hidden Costs of Decarbonizing Utility Generation: Investment on Grid Stability and Contribution of Renewable Energies

Article scientifique 2022 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract How much the energy transition will cost is yet to be determined. In the electricity sector, studies continue to show trends of decreasing costs for various renewable energy technologies such as solar photovoltaic and wind. Recurring recommendations are made from international organizations to phase-out energy subsidies on conventional fuels in order to make competitive electricity generation with renewable energy. In this chapter, the authors demonstrate how electricity generation with renewable resources can contribute to the decarbonization of utility generation. Considering the examples of Ghana and Senegal. They propose a new approach with five pillars to decarbonize electricity supply from the grid in the West Africa region.
