RE technology specific information / toolkits

The Energy Toolkit 2.0 is a collection of leading instruments and methodologies for climate-compatible energy planning, offering energy practitioners, policymakers, and experts a quick reference guide to some of the best-established instruments available at no or low cost. The result is a compilation of 26 tools from agencies around the world.The toolkit was produced as a team effort with the many members of the Low-Emissions Development Strategies Global Partnership (LEDS GP), in particular its Energy Working Group (LEDS EWG).

The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) represents 42 electricity transmission system operators (TSOs)​ from 35 countries across Europe. Its transparency platform provides data on power generation, transmission and consumption as well as information on balancing, outages and congestion management for the European grid.

The Renewable Energy Mini-Grid Policy Toolkit developed by the EU Energy Initiative Partnership Dialogue Facility (EUEI PDF) consists of an elaborate report on policy and business frameworks on successful mini-grid roll-outs. It comes as a manual for policy-level decision-makers and senior technical staff in developing countries and supports them in shaping up the policy and regulatory framework for rural electrification through renewable energy or hybrid mini-grids.

Estimates the energy production and cost of energy of grid-connected photovoltaic energy systems throughout the world. It allows homeowners, small building owners, installers and manufacturers to easily develop estimates of the performance of potential PV installations.

This calculation tool allows to design different PV systems like grid-connect, off-grid and hybrid- PV systems all over the world.
