What people are saying

As a leading consultancy firm regularly advising governments in a wide range of emerging and developing countries on energy efficiency and renewable energy policies and projects Econoler finds the RISE tool extremely helpful as a set of global indicators in these fields.

It was very useful to count on a set of harmonized indicators to assess and compare the national situations of countries that are not usually considered as regional peers. Having an authoritative source such as ESMAP backing up our analysis of the national policy environment on energy efficiency and renewable energy was also a strong asset when presenting the results of our work to the ECO member countries.

Econoler used the RISE indicators most recently to perform a clean energy baseline assessment of countries from the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), a regional intergovernmental organization encompassing diverse member countries from Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East and South Asia (Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan).

RISE is a great tool for civil society organisations working in the energy sector. They can use it to track the implementation of policies for the support of renewable energy access and clean cooking (SDG7). This has become particularly important in light of a green recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. As inequality grows due to the pandemic, access to energy, especially clean energy, becomes unreachable for more and more people. Some even fall back to dirty power as a result of the crisis. Applying the recommendations of RISE and calling governments to build back better is therefore key and very urgent if we still want to keep the SDG goals within reach.

I could not stress more the importance of the RISE 2020 report, as a tool to monitor and assesses policy and regulatory support for sustainable energy to promote energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy. Data on individual country policy frameworks and impact of individual policy measures is critical to guide future work in this critical area.

The original RISE report has been one of the most useful sources of information about the state of energy access within and across countries. The goal of the report, to explain why particular countries are ready for investment in sustainable energy, is intrinsically valuable to any private sector participant - be they a utility, vendor, or investor. Its approach to doing so is rooted in specific, well-crafted indicators, which is what sets it apart from other pieces of research on energy access. In the two years since the report was published, I've found myself continuously going back to specific sections of the report, like the indicator on enabling environments for mini-grid investment, when evaluating a market for business development. As someone who frequently speaks to prospective investors in microgrid projects, I've consistently recommended the RISE report chapter on energy access as a "must read" document to inform their due diligence. I'm looking forward to using the new version of the report to inform our strategy and dialogues with our partners in the sector.

RISE is an invaluable tool for policymakers to understand where they can strengthen energy policies and create the enabling environment we need to achieve universal energy access. While this year’s RISE scores show some positive progress in electricity access - particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa - slower adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy policies is delaying a clean energy transition. Governments must seize this unique moment to ‘Recover Better’ from the pandemic and set clear, long-term sustainable energy policies to accelerate action.
