Background: The drastically increasing share of fossil fuel supply to meet the rapidly growing electricity demand resulting in increasing Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, is the major concern in Thailand. In 2015, fossil fuels used in electricity generation in Thailand accounted for around 85.3% of the total electricity generation. Aim: The aim of the study is to analyze carbon dioxide mitigation options under the cleaner supply-side option beyond the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) of Thailand. Methods: In this study, the Long-range Energy Planning (LEAP) model is used to analyze the share of electricity generation and CO2 mitigation from four main different scenarios, namely Business-as-Usual (BAU), Renewable Energy (RE), Carbon Capture Storage (CCS), and Carbon Tax (CT) scenarios during 2015 to 2050. The BAU scenario is constructed following the power development targets of the Power Development Plan in 2015. Results: The results illustrate that in the BAU scenario, electricity generation and carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector will increase by 57.7% and 37.3%, respectively in 2050 as compared to 2015. The imposition of carbon tax of $20/tCO2 from 2020 and an increase to $500/t CO2 by 2050 will have a high potential to reduce CO2 emissions from the power sector as compared with other scenarios. Conclusion: Results show that except for the RE scenarios considering the lower share of solar and biomass, all scenarios would help Thailand in achieving the target of INDC by 2030. Results provide that the share of imported electricity is higher with the imposition of carbon tax as compared to the scenarios with the promotion of renewable energy, CCS and EV technology.

Abstract In the existing electricity market, the traditional power suppliers and renewable energy generators coexist in the power supply side. In the power supply side, renewable energy generators generate power by wind and other natural conditions, leading renewable energy output a certain randomness. However, the low marginal generating cost and the reduction of carbon emissions, and thus brings a certain advantage for renewable energy compared to alternative energy. Electricity, as a special commodity, stable and adequate power supply is a necessary guarantee for economic and social development. Power shortage situation is not allowed in the power system, and the extra power needs to be handled for the purpose of safety. In this paper, the hybrid power generated by renewable energy generators and traditional energy generators is used as power supply, and then the electricity market sells hybrid power to electricity consumers, the hybrid power system determines the optimal daytime price, nighttime price, and the optimal installed capacity of the renewable energy suppliers. We find that the installed capacity of renewable energy increases first and then decreases with the increase of the price sensitivity coefficient of traditional energy supply. Electricity demand is negatively related to electricity price in the current period, and is positively related to price in the other period. The average price of day and night is only related to the total potential demand of day and night and the total generation probability of renewable energy. The price difference between daytime and nighttime is positively related to potential electricity demand, and negatively related to the sensitivity coefficient of electricity price.

International cooperation on climate protection has very strong impact, which translates into increased interest in renewable energy, including biomass. Assuming the regional use of biomass, it may be an important source for energy, taking into account the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of paper was to identify the supply barriers for the agricultural biomass market development in Lodz province. In this case, information obtained from structured interview was used. The main barriers on the supply side include i.e. lack of organized transport, unprofitability of the sales/production, lack of knowledge and access to information about innovative possibilities of energy use of biomass.

Punjab is a high-income state with a predominantly agrarian economy, the first in India to achieve universal village electrification and household access. Promises of free power for farmers came at a time when electricity constituted a substantial input in farm costs. Now, though, even as the economic significance of the subsidy has fallen and free power yields few electoral gains, no party in the state can risk eliminating the subsidy. In addition to cross-subsidy from industrial consumers, paying consumers are also charged increasing levels of cess and duties to balance the high cost of subsidies. Populist inertia strains the ability of any one actor to break from the status quo. On the supply-side, high-cost, long-term contracts signed over the last five years with private generators have curtailed the potential benefits of demand-side management (since far from curbing demand, the utility needs to encourage it) and renewable energy (with a supply glut, no one has an appetite for new sources of energy, however virtuous they may be).

The change paradign in energy demand side and supply side management make goverment should think creatively to increase nergy national mix 23% at 2025 with new and renewable energy development programme. This research aims to describe the open goverment strategy condition in new and renewable energy development programme use kualitatif method through interview and observation. In general pelaksaan open government have on the directorate general ebtke has been implemented in terms of planning, implementation and supervision activities. This reseach find that new and renewable energy programme basically has a good platform, proven from a lot of using information and technology to support the programme.  But unfortunately many platform are not used optimally to increase tranparency, participation and collaboration as a open goverment theory to the new and renenwable energy programme. In the transparency aspect informatio technology has used to broadcast information, in participation aspect, public has no access to policy formulation. While in the collaboration aspect show with many cooperation between goverment, private sector, public, NGO and other institution or country in various new and renewable energy programme.

This chapter situates South Africa’s new renewable energy sector within the context of the country’s electricity system and in turn its unique political economy. The author charts major developments in the country’s energy policy and governance since the end of apartheid and shows how electricity policy is determined by economic, political, and technological factors. Focusing on shifts that have taken place in the country’s electricity governance and policy-making, from a period of generation surplus in 1980s to the supply-side constraints of the present, the chapter asks how, why, and when South Africa’s renewable electricity sector has emerged. The author examines the contested negotiation of key policies, which have been fundamental to the introduction of a renewable energy sector, considers how the new renewable energy sector has evolved thus far, and raises key challenges and concerns for its future development.
