Eskom Transformed: Achieving a Just Energy Transition for South Africa
A 2020 report which presents the case for a modern national power utility - a New Eskom. Unfortunately, in the public discourse around energy in South Africa, the word ‘Eskom' has become an expletive. To suggest that a reformed publicly utility can and must play a new and perhaps expanded role in shaping the country’s energy future as it transitions away from coal sounds ludicrous. But this is exactly what the situation demands, and this report explains why.

Windy Waters: Unlocking the Potential of U.S. Offshore Wind
A July 2021 report from the U.S. Bipartisan Policy Center that assets "offshore wind has an important role to play in that expansion, particularly given its ability to provide reliable electricity generation, at all hours of the day and during all seasons of the year, near major coastal population centers. Offshore wind also represents a significant economic opportunity: a robust domestic industry could deliver large benefits in job creation and manufacturing activity while tapping a growing global market for clean energy technologies" [Originally posted at https://bipartisanpolicy.org/download/?file=/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/BPC_OSW_IssueBriefV5-1.pdf ]
U.S. Offshore Wind Power Economic Impact Assessment
A March 2020 report by the American Wind Energy Association (an industry association) claiming that "Market projections anticipate between 20,000 to 30,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind capacity will be operational by 20301, representing between $28 – $57 billion of investment in the U.S. economy."

Covid-19 and a Just Transition in India's Coal Mining Sector The COVID 19 pandemic hit India hard in early 2020, with negative GDP growth and a surge in unemployment. In the energy sector, coal fired power generation was already under pressure from overcapacity, low electricity demand growth, and increasingly competitive renewables.
Considerations for a Just and Equitable Energy Transition As the energy transition accelerates, it is our responsibility, it is our opportunity, to ensure that in addition to contributing to a healthy planet by replacing fossil fuels with clean energy sources, this is accomplished in a just and equitable manner providing prosperity for all.
