Are fluctuations in energy consumption per capita transitory? Evidence from a panel of Pacific Island countries (2009, background): “Yu and Taplin (1997), Jafar (2000) and Urmee et al. (2008) among others, consider the potential to introduce renewable energy solutions in the Pacific Islands.”
Towards achieving energy for sustainable development in Nigeria (2014, background): “Many developing countries—including Bolivia, Bangladesh [81], Brazil [79], China, India [82], Pakistan, Tonga, South Africa and Zambia [83]—have adopted RE policies, such as connection targets and subsidies, in order to provide access to energy services in rural areas.”
Renewable energy diffusion in Asia: Can it happen without government support? (2013, background): “Though China has electrification rate of close to 99% (Urmee et al., 2009), 81% of the total supply is coming from carbon fuels, mostly coal.”
Access to electricity in Small Island Developing States of the Pacific: Issues and challenges (2014, background): “Academic literature on rural electrification in Pacific SIDS is particularly sparse, being almost entirely focused on off-grid electrification projects using renewable technologies [9-12].”
