Komila Nabiyeva – Energy Transition https://energytransition.org The Global Energiewende Mon, 04 Mar 2019 11:08:03 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.1 Central Asia’s green horizons https://energytransition.org/2018/06/central-asias-green-horizons/ https://energytransition.org/2018/06/central-asias-green-horizons/#comments Wed, 13 Jun 2018 12:00:02 +0000 https://energytransition.org/?p=17394 Despite its huge potential in the region, solar PV has not yet gained traction in Central Asia. In Kazakhstan, two utility-scale PV projects have been realized, and a few are in the pipeline for Uzbekistan as it begins to attract international investors. But many challenges on the policy level have yet to be overcome, as Komila Nabiyeva explains. Uzbekistan’s dirty power could be replaced by solar...

A new study shows which German federal states are leading and which are slowing down the development of renewable energy. Komila Nabiyeva summarizes the findings. Vast plains, lots of wind – Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has good conditions for renewables. But it also made the right...

No wonder, a guidebook which details nearly 200 renewable energy sites throughout Germany is selling well. Komila Nabiyeva reports from Berlin. Germany is becoming a renewable energy wonderland – an old nuclear plant that never made it past its construction stage was turned into “Wunderland Kalkar”, an amusement park.

The country is home to ample supplies of both uranium and renewable sources of energy. Whether it can stay its ambitious course and sustain green developments to meet its targets for 2050 remains to be seen, reminds Komila Nabiyeva. Humble beginnings of something big?

There the media presents it as an interesting but rather bizarre experiment which only a rich country like Germany can afford, finds Komila Nabiyeva. Russia has historically had a high share of hydro power in its electricity mix – other sources of renewables remain...
