Sustainable Energy Development

A Public Policy Process

The IDE-E approach to renewable energy and energy efficiency deployment is based on the Public Policy Process (PPP). This process urges policy analysts and decision-makers to think of sustainable energy development as a continuous process of engagement between a country's government, stakeholders from different sectors, and the population. By doing so, we address the need for comprehensive policies allowing countries to appreciate clean technology deployment as an opportunity for sustainable development.

 

The PPP is based on the IDE-E Public Policy Framework for Sustainable Energy Development (PPF™), which enables governments from developing and emerging economies to assess and plan for their own public policy process, based on local priorities and development goals. In the context of national dynamics towards decentralisation and the increasingly recognised importance of local stakeholders, IDE-E has developed a Territorial Approach to Sustainable Energy Development, considering the public policy process from a sub-national perspective: the one of regions, states, provinces and municipalities. Read more ...

A Territorial Approach to Sustainable Energy Development

Getting involved local actors - a Territorial Approach to Sustainable Energy Development

As an early response to the recent dynamics in the Middle East and North African (MENA) Region and the increasing trend of governments reallocation of decision-making power and resources to sub-national levels (e.g. Morocco's "Advanced Regionalisation Process"), IDE-E has developed a Territorial Approach tailored towards MENA countries: the MENA Energy Award.

The key components and phases of this Territorial Approach are outlined in the IDE-E Study on Opportunities for Local Authorities to Support Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Morocco, conducted in close collaboration with the Moroccan Agency for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development (ADEREE) and GIZ. They include:

What is the IDE-E Contribution to Renewable Energy Development?

The Institute for Development, Environment and Energy (IDE-E), an international think-tank and policy-oriented research institute, has developed the public policy approach for renewable energy development in developing countries and emerging economies. By providing countries with a proven method and customized tools for process-oriented assessment, analysis, planning, implementation and evaluation, IDE-E aims to empower national and local stakeholders to support country-based public policy processes. These processes further provide an enabling environment for project-based investment or technology-focused initiatives to be effective, viable and generate the expected socio-economic benefits for the population.
