SDGs: SDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy, SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 13 - Climate Action
Globally, the energy sector is transforming rapidly. The green transition and the urgency of addressing the climate crisis is leading to significant changes in how energy systems operate. Lessons from evaluation can provide a valuable perspective on how to develop green energy systems that are sustainable, secure and affordable.
This knowledge paper focuses on providing evidence-based insights from evaluation on two central themes: the technical integration of intermittent renewable energy and building markets to set the right incentives. It draws lessons from the evaluations produced by Multi-Lateral Development Banks (MDBs) on their approaches to energy systems, supplemented with EBRD data and strategic documents outlining how MDBs approach energy systems.
