This book showcases how small-scale renewable energy technologies
such as solar panels, cookstoves, biogas digesters, microhydro
units, and wind turbines are helping Asia respond to a daunting set
of energy governance challenges. Using extensive original research
this book offers a compendium of the most interesting renewable
energy case studies over the last ten years from one of the most
diverse regions in the world. Through an in-depth exploration of
case studies in Bangladesh, China, India, Laos, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka, the
authors highlight the applicability of different approaches and
technologies and illuminates how household and commercial
innovations occur (or fail to occur) within particular energy
governance regimes. It also, uniquely, explores successful case
studies alongside failures or "worst practice" examples that are
often just as revealing as those that met their targets. Based on
these successes and failures, the book presents twelve salient
lessons for policymakers and practitioners wishing to expand energy
access and raise standards of living in some of the world's poorest
communities. It also develops an innovative framework consisting of
42 distinct factors that explain why some energy development
interventions accomplish all of their goals while others languish
to achieve any.
