This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the fifties it was not unusual to measure economic growth of a country through the presentation of statistics around its energy consumption. The higher the consumption, the higher the economic growth. However, the unprecedented economic growth experienced in the global village during the 21st Century, is steering the ship in the direction of a disaster, measured from a sustainable energy supply point of view, the massive damage to the environment as a result of the high use of dominating fossil fuels and a lack of the implementation of clean energy strategies. Apartheid, to a large extent, contributed to unacceptable socio-economic conditions in low-income urban communities. The Reconstruction and Development Programme of government from 1994 attempted, inter alia, to mitigate the housing demand for the disadvantaged citizens. However, over the years, poor quality in construction of these houses and other factors impacted negatively on the living conditions of the homeowners. Government realised that it had to change this situation and policy programmes with action plans focussed, inter alia, on the roll-out of solar water heaters (SWH), insulation of ceilings and repairs to the dilapidated houses. This study aims to identify the key factors that influence the successful implementation of clean energy interventions in low-income urban communities in South Africa. The research showed that it is indeed possible to implement such projects successfully, if the key factors are acknowledged, as demonstrated in this study. Copyright.
Book Synopsis South Africa’s Energy Transition by : Tobias Bischof-Niemz
Download or read book South Africa’s Energy Transition written by Tobias Bischof-Niemz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa’s energy transition has become a highly topical, emotive and politically contentious topic. Taking a systems perspective, this book offers an evidence-based roadmap for such a transition and debunks many of the myths raised about the risks of a renewable-energy-led electricity mix. Owing to its formidable solar and wind resources, South Africa has an almost unparalleled opportunity to turn solar photovoltaic and onshore wind generators into the country’s power generation workhorses – a role hitherto played by coal. This book shows that a renewables-led mix will not only provide the lowest cost, but will also create more jobs than any of the alternatives currently under consideration. In addition, it offers a glimpse of how South Africa’s low-cost and decarbonised electricity system can power a competitive industrial economy, an electric-mobility revolution and, in the long run, create new export opportunities. This book will be of great interest to energy industry practitioners, as well as students and scholars of energy policy and politics, environmental economics and sustainable development.

Book Synopsis Energy Services for the Urban Poor in Africa by : Bereket Kebede
Download or read book Energy Services for the Urban Poor in Africa written by Bereket Kebede and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa has been experiencing higher rates of urbanization than any other continent, and today about one-third of the continent‘s population live in urban areas. But studies of energy services for urban residents, especially the poor, are still rare. The supply of electricity to poor city dwellers has not kept pace with urbanisation: in 1970 some 40 million had no access to electricity; by the year 2000 there were over 100 million. The urban poor continue to rely on wood fuel, charcoal, kerosene and dung cakes for energy, with all their environmental drawbacks. This book examines the affordability of modern energy sources for the poor; the relevance of energy subsidies; the impact of subsidies on public finances; and how electricity tariffs affect the operations of small and medium enterprises, the main source of livelihood for the majority of the urban poor outside the formal economic sector.

Book Synopsis Energy in Africa by : Manfred Hafner
Download or read book Energy in Africa written by Manfred Hafner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a picture of the current energy challenges on the African continent (and the Sub-Saharan region in particular) and proposes pathways to an accelerated energy transition. Starting with an analysis of the status quo and the outlook for Africa’s energy demand and energy access, it provides an account of the available resources, including hydrocarbons and renewable energy resources, which are playing an increasingly crucial role. It then moves on to analyze the level of investment required to scale-up Africa’s energy systems, shedding light on the key barriers and elaborating on potential solutions. It also provides a suggestion for improving the effectiveness of EU–Africa cooperation. While mainly intended for policymakers and academics, this book also speaks to a broader audience interested in gaining an overview of the challenges and opportunities of the African energy sector today and in the future.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: to modern and efficient energy services is necessary for inclusive economic growth, human well-being and poverty reduction. Energy security and access are recognised for playing major roles in socio-economic development. Eliminating energy poverty goes beyond electrification. It requires consideration of multiple factors such as reducing expenditure, access to energy appliances and equipment, safety and efficiency of energy sources for low -income households. The adoption of small- scale and off-grid systems has proliferated in developing countries, especially in rural areas as alternative options for grid-connected power systems. Renewable energy technologies such as mini-grid systems, solar home systems, solar cookers and appliances provide opportunities for communities to diversify their energy profile and improve their health because these technologies are cleaner and relatively safer than traditional energy sources. This study explores the challenges under energy poverty and energy use patterns in informal settlements. Furthermore, the knowledge and awareness of renewable energy technologies and alternative energy sources. Diepsloot which is an informal settlement in the City of Johannesburg was used as a case study. Analysing household energy consumption patterns and identifying the energy-related challenges, provides baseline information for addressing these challenges and implementing solutions that are fitted to the context and reality of the communities affected. The study employed an exploratory approach and a mixed methodology which included both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. For an in-depth analysis, tools such as structured field questionnaires, conversational interviews and direct observations were used. A total of 50 households were sampled in this study. The study found that kerosene was the most used among unelectrified households, while electricity was the most used amongst electrified households. Electrified households reported using secondary energy fuels as kerosene and gas when necessary. The analysis indicated that the majority of the households perceived their household energy usage as inadequate. While most households indicated the most crucial determinants in choosing an energy carrier was affordability, availability and the cleanliness. Energy usage is constrained by factors such as family size, safety and health. The findings reveal that knowledge of renewable energy systems and alternative appliances is limited amongst participants. However, willingness to engage and adopt alternatives is significantly high. Therefore, the study argues through the adoption of renewable energy technology, revised policy framework, capacity building and financial investment energy poverty can be addressed in South Africa.
