Bangladesh leans towards coal-based power as renewables development faces challenges, says GlobalData
Bangladesh is set to increase the coal-based power generation capacity to ensure supply security at a time when many other countries are focussing on the development of renewables and cut dependency on thermal power to achieve climate goals. The country’s move to expand coal power comes as challenges remain for renewables development, including inadequate grid […]
Malaysia renewables growth hindered by unrealistic targets and absence of robust policies, says GlobalData
In 2021, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Malaysia (KeTSA) set a target to achieve 31% renewable capacity by 2025 and 40% by 2035. Later in the National Energy Policy (2022 – 2040) the government set a target to achieve 18.4GW renewable capacity by 2040. Both objectives are highly unrealistic, as only 9.1% […]
Argentina risks falling short of 2025 renewable generation target unless it revives its RenovAr program, says GlobalData
Despite Argentina having plenty of renewable energy potential, the country has fallen short of its renewable energy target compared to other Latin American countries, says GlobalData.

Ample opportunities for utilities willing to invest in EV infrastructure, says GlobalData
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) will bring about both enormous opportunities and challenges for the power industry. With planned investments and policies, the utilities will be able to serve new markets. Utilities should collaborate with EV manufacturers to boost EV charging offerings, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, energy storage, and renewable energy sources, says GlobalData, a […]
Egypt will achieve wind power target but will fall short of renewable generation target, says GlobalData
Despite being described as having ‘tremendous potential’ for renewable energy, Egypt is expected to see a shortfall on its renewable power generation target for both 2022 and 2035 partly due to its overdependency on gas, according to GlobalData. However, the leading data and analytics company does note that the country is set to meet its […]
Croatia to achieve its renewable targets, but will have vulnerable supply security, says GlobalData
Renewable development could be an ideal import exit strategy for Croatia’s power industry ahead of anticipated rising electricity demand, says GlobalData. The leading data and analytics company reveals that Croatia currently imports 100% of its coal, 40% of its gas and 80% of its oil, and has been particularly vulnerable to the rise in fossil […]
Removal of the Netherlands’ coal power generation cap due to Russia-Ukraine war a setback for country’s renewable transition, says GlobalData
The Netherlands’ decision to restructure its energy plans amid the Russia-Ukraine geopolitical crisis, combined with the scrapping of its nuclear phase out plans in 2021, is a setback for the country’s renewable power aspirations, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. The Dutch government has lifted a cap on coal-based power generation, which was […]
Sweden should strengthen transmission grid to unlock power industry’s full potential amid energy crisis, says GlobalData
The rise in electricity prices has caused financial distress for transmission and distribution companies in Sweden, and for the population in general. A key challenge the country faces is the lack of transmission infrastructure between the northern and southern region. Sweden should focus on strengthening its transmission grid with upgraded cables and create a robust […]
Australia should formalize targets to emerge as renewables superpower, says GlobalData
Australia has pledged to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43% and increase the share of renewable power generation in the country’s National Electricity Market to 82% by 2030, as part of plans to emerge as a renewables superpower and cater to the needs of South Asian countries. However, the country needs to formalize these […]

Iran’s renewable energy growth continues to be hindered by US sanctions, says GlobalData
The Iranian power market has been severely impacted by the series of sanctions that have been imposed by the US, which has made it difficult for Iran’s finance and banking sectors to make payments or secure debt and equity finance for projects as it has become virtually impossible, found GlobalData. The leading data and analytics […]
Renewable power is the key for Germany to overcome potential energy crisis following Russia-Ukraine conflict, says GlobalData
To help divert a potential energy crisis, renewables are expected to play a major role in meeting Germany’s power demand as a result of the country’s gas and coal supply being stunted due to EU sanctions placed on Russia, observes GlobalData. However, the leading and analytics company found that as a result of Germany’s plans […]
