Many countries are targeting the rapid and deep decarbonization of their energy supply, with renewable technologies playing a key role. Despite increased technology maturity dramatically decreased costs, deployment momentum renewables often lags behind ambitious policy commitments. Accordingly, policymakers must accelerate development projects to meet goals. However, we currently lack comprehensive understanding how long take commission, whether executed faster as mature, which factors affect timelines – this knowledge gap affects researchers providing model-based advice alike. To fill gap, analyzed global commissioning times between 2005 2022, drawing on data for 12,475 using solar photovoltaic (PV), wind onshore, offshore, biomass, run-off-river hydro in 48 countries. We found that average have substantially over past two decades all project sizes. This finding highlights need incorporate up-to-date models generate realistic advice. In addition, identified five categories timelines, conducted cross-sectional analyses fixed-effect models, present implications policymakers, businesses, researchers.

Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) solutions enable greater diffusion of renewable into the electricity grid. However, accelerated development PHES is complex due to numerous spatially relevant technical, environmental, social, and economic criteria that must be assessed determine a pumped sites feasibility. With goal rapidly narrow down feasible from large land area, this study developed Geographic Information System (GIS) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based technique autonomously identify on range environmental technical criteria. Following GIS-AHP analysis, Levelized Cost Energy (LCOE) scenario analysis was conducted with limited number sites, as well their carbon abatement potential. The approach demonstrated for case Northern Queensland (NrQLD), Australia. site selection identified 14 potentially sites. For base scenario, these could generate 366.94 TWh over lifetime while abating 300 ktCO2eq. LCOE ranged between 0.04 AU$/kWh 0.27 scenario. has implications planning managers seeking efficiently which are essential enablers transitioning zero-emissions economy.

Sibuyan Island is experiencing a significant increase in electricity demand due to population growth, urbanization, and industrial development. The island plans use solar energy, recognizing its abundance renewable nature; thus, this study was conducted visualize the spatial distribution of exploration suitability using geographic information system (GIS). Various criteria, including climatology, location, geography, meteorology, disaster susceptibility, were considered assessment. Parameters affected by government policies, such as protected areas, proximity rivers, roads faults, ancestral domains, proclaimed watersheds, also considered. weighted, levels highlighted AHP. revealed that about 5.88% (2674.06 km2) categorized highly suitable for farm, 34.99% (15,908.21 suitable, 2.49% (1129.95 moderately majority, 56.64% (25,754.47 km2), not projects.

Given the constraints associated with grid expansion costs, limited access to reliable electricity, and priorities in addressing climate agenda Sustainable Development Goals low-income countries, microgrids off-grid solar projects represent a viable solution for rural electrification. This type of has advantage being less expensive than conventional technologies, is rapidly scalable, affordable, environmentally sustainable, can play critical role empowering communities. In this context, study proposed spatial framework energy planning based on Geographical Information System Boolean logic, Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Multicriteria Decision-Making methods.
