Renewable energy case studies

3pm, July 30th, 2015

The World Bank has compiled a list of case studies showcasing the best practices and lessons learned from implementing renewable energy systems around the world.

The case studies are divided into:

  • Grid-connected renewable energy systems,
  • Mini-grid renewable energy systems, and
  • Stand alone renewable energy systems.

Grid-connected renewable energy systems

  • China renewable energy: a programmatic approach
  • Sri Lanka: renewable energy program
  • Thailand: small power producer program

  • Mexico: large scale renewable energy development project
  • Turkey renewable energy project
  • Germany’s pricing law

Mini-grid renewable energy systems

  • Sri Lanka RE program: village hydro
  • China: capacity building for the rapid commercialization of renewable energy
  • The Philippines: biomass gasifier–based community productive uses
  • Mexico: renewable energy for agriculture
  • Peru: solar / diesel hybrid RAPS system
  • Thailand: mini-grid rural electrification
  • Chile: rural electricity subsidies and the private sector

Stand alone renewable energy systems

  • Nepal: biogas support program
  • Sri Lanka RE program: solar PV
  • India: consumer credit program for PV
  • China renewable energy development -solar PV
  • Bangladesh: solar home program on credit sales
