Renewables are fast becoming more and more popular – a fact that many utilities seem to consider threatening, as they try various measures to block them. Environment America has now released a new report, explaining how to fight back.
Renewable energies reach historic number by making 15 % of the U.S. energy market. Albeit only 1.4 % of these renewables are placed in the solar sector, it still means a 40 % increase from 2015.
The U.S. utility-scale solar market is based largely on power purchase agreements. However, recently developers have taken a rather risky approach which endangers the whole industry.

By far the most populous country of Africa (with 177 million inhabitants in 2014), and consequently the first GDP of the continent, Nigeria is a member of the OPEP and has a large amount of oil resources, which represents the major part of its economy.

The electrification rate of the country is rather low: in 2012, only 55.6% of the population had access to electricity. The lack of infrastructure affects mainly the rural and poor populations. To overcome the inexistence and the low reliability of the electricity distribution in several areas of the country, the rural populations invest in diesel generators, which are expensive and polluting.
