Decentralized renewables: the fast track to universal energy access
Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) are uniquely positioned—and publicly committed—to ending energy poverty.

Residential precinct demand forecasting using optimised solar generation and battery storage
In the future there will be an increased uptake of solar and battery systems in the residential sector, driven by falling battery costs and increasing electricity tariffs. The increased uptake means we need new methods to forecast electricity demand when considering these technologies. This paper has achieved this goal using a two stage model.
