Abstract
The report starts with a brief overview of the evolution of competitive power markets and the current global landscape of electricity markets. It further reviews the arguments for markets, including existing evidence as well as basic preconditions for market reform. The main body of the report then walks through key market structuring and design issues, including considerations to address decarbonization objectives. Topics addressed include the promises and challenges posed by the integration of variable renewable energy and new technological solutions such as battery energy storage (BES) and distributed energy resources (DER). The report concludes with a brief characterization of key market design choices and a generic list of process steps required for market reform

Publication Energy Sector Management Assistance Program Annual Report 2021(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2021-12)During this period, ESMAP focused its efforts on addressing three compounded challenges facing developing countries: the COVID crisis; the urgent need to decarbonize; and achieving universal access to electricity. To assist clients with their COVID-19 response and recovery, ESMAP supported the sustainable electrification of health facilities, the provision of climate-friendly cold chains, and the establishment of a relief fund for off-grid solar companies in Africa. ESMAP’s activities to accelerate the global transition to low-carbon energy and to secure universal access to energy have centered on the just transition away from coal, and ways to support the rapid deployment of renewables, including mobilization of climate finance through initiatives such as the Cooling Facility and the Sustainable Renewables Risk Mitigation Initiative (SRMI). In addition to the dynamic response to these critical global issues, ESMAP has carried on its fundamental role in implementing its business plan based on client demand.Publication Jobs Generated by the Rwanda Development Policy Operations(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-03-22)This report presents the findings and conclusions of a case study undertaken under a program of analytical work that investigates the impacts of the global transition to clean energy on the quantity and quality of jobs in low- and middle-income countries. The World Bank supported the government of Rwanda in institutionalizing least-cost principles for power-sector expansion through a series of three consecutive annual Development Policy Operations (DPOs) between 2017-2018 and 2019-2020. The objective was to enable fiscally sustainable expansion of electricity services in Rwanda while improving operational efficiency, affordability, and accountability. The case study found that while there was some association between electricity reforms and job creation in Rwanda, the link was not straightforward, and the impact on formal employment was limited. Other factors and constraints, as well as the time required for infrastructure improvements to translate into employment outcomes, may have played significant roles in shaping the labor market. In summary, while there was some association between electricity reforms and job creation in Rwanda, the link was not straightforward, and the impact on formal employment was limited. Other factors and constraints, as well as the time required for infrastructure improvements to translate into employment outcomes, may have played significant roles in shaping the labor market.Publication Beyond Borders(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-01-22)This report provides a foundational guide to regional energy integration, with a particular focus on developing and emerging economies. Many regions are about to integrate power grids and markets across national boundaries, which can offer economic benefits, enhanced power supply quality and security, and opportunities for scaling up climate change mitigation measures. The report begins with an overview of the different levels of power system integration, followed by an analysis of the primary drivers behind regional energy integration. It identifies five key building blocks essential for achieving deeper integration: interconnection infrastructure, planning and investment coordination, technical and operational coordination, commercial arrangements and market design, and institutional architecture. The report also highlights the key challenges hindering the development of these building blocks, particularly issues related to political cooperation and financing. It concludes by advocating for a collaborative, step-by-step approach, along with institutional capacity building and innovative financing mechanisms, to advance regional energy integration efforts.Publication Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE)(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-06-09)Since the publication of the previous (2022) RISE edition, progress toward universal electrification reversed course for the first time in 20 years. About 685 million people, most of them living in Sub-Saharan Africa, lacked access in 2022. While RISE electricity access scores climbed in many countries between 2021 and 2023, progress in fragile states stalled due to structural barriers and instability. Most countries with substantial unelectrified populations have high RISE scores, but this has not translated into significant electrification gains, because access requires more than sound policies. Expanding access requires capacity for implementation, together with efforts to address barriers to affordability and financing, and challenging environments for doing business. With just five years left to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), moving beyond strong RISE scores to expand actual electricity access is more urgent than ever. Clean cooking policy and regulatory frameworks saw modest progress between 2021 and 2023. Many countries showed minimal changes, while any improvements were slow and uneven. More than half of surveyed countries remain in the red zone, underscoring the need for stronger frameworks, targeted financial interventions, and greater international collaboration to scale clean cooking solutions.Publication ESMAP Business Plan, FY2025–30(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-15)In its Business Plan FY25-30, Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) aims to support client countries on three overarching objectives: (i) ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services by 2030; (ii) accelerate the transition towards a sustainable, just, and decarbonized energy system; and (iii) ensure the resilience and adaptation of the energy sector to the growing impacts of climate change and other shocks. The Business Plan has two focus areas: energy access and energy transition. The energy access focus area helps World Bank clients achieve results on the ground and will employ three approaches: (i) catalytic incentives to facilitate private sector investments and connections, (ii) hands-on implementation support, and (iii) tailored solutions for all beneficiary groups. The energy transition focus area will be implemented through three complementary workstreams: (i) scaling up renewable energy, storage, and clean hydrogen; (ii) scaling-up energy efficiency and decarbonization of end-use sectors; and (iii) transitioning away from unabated fossil fuel. These workstreams will be supported by the Financial Innovation Window designed to provide last-resort project de-risking and incentives for innovation and resilient investment. All workstreams will support economic and leadership opportunities for women and excluded groups.

Publication Georgia Green Growth Strategy(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-07-29)The Georgian Green Growth Strategy (G3S), based on a model of sustainable development, should be inclusive and allow Georgia to efficiently and sustainably manage its natural resources, minimize pollution and environmental impact, and increase resilience to climate change. Key objectives should include sustainable natural resource management, climate adaptation and mitigation, circularity in production and consumption, green finance, and education. Progress in these areas is likely to create synergy across social, economic, and environmental development objectives.Publication Digital Africa(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-03-13)All African countries need better and more jobs for their growing populations. "Digital Africa: Technological Transformation for Jobs" shows that broader use of productivity-enhancing, digital technologies by enterprises and households is imperative to generate such jobs, including for lower-skilled people. At the same time, it can support not only countries’ short-term objective of postpandemic economic recovery but also their vision of economic transformation with more inclusive growth. These outcomes are not automatic, however. Mobile internet availability has increased throughout the continent in recent years, but Africa’s uptake gap is the highest in the world. Areas with at least 3G mobile internet service now cover 84 percent of Africa’s population, but only 22 percent uses such services. And the average African business lags in the use of smartphones and computers as well as more sophisticated digital technologies that catalyze further productivity gains. Two issues explain the usage gap: affordability of these new technologies and willingness to use them. For the 40 percent of Africans below the extreme poverty line, mobile data plans alone would cost one-third of their incomes—in addition to the price of access devices, apps, and electricity. Data plans for small- and medium-size businesses are also more expensive than in other regions. Moreover, shortcomings in the quality of internet services—and in the supply of attractive, skills-appropriate apps that promote entrepreneurship and raise earnings—dampen people’s willingness to use them. For those countries already using these technologies, the development payoffs are significant. New empirical studies for this report add to the rapidly growing evidence that mobile internet availability directly raises enterprise productivity, increases jobs, and reduces poverty throughout Africa. To realize these and other benefits more widely, Africa’s countries must implement complementary and mutually reinforcing policies to strengthen both consumers’ ability to pay and willingness to use digital technologies. These interventions must prioritize productive use to generate large numbers of inclusive jobs in a region poised to benefit from a massive, youthful workforce—one projected to become the world’s largest by the end of this century.Publication Unlocking the Power of Healthy Longevity(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-09-12)The World Bank has a long history of engaging in population issues, ranging from childhood illness, nutrition, fertility, and safe motherhood to the aging process. It supports countries in addressing the implications of the demographic process through analytical work, technical advice, and financing to expand health coverage, redesign pension systems and social security, and undertake actions that support their economies. This report follows that tradition and analyzes the steps to promote healthy longevity and enhance the quantity and quality of human capital through attention to the burgeoning problem of Non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Research began before COVID and concluded after, drawing upon lessons from the pandemic. The report is intended to inform policy and action at the country level. The demographic transformation is a global phenomenon, and the increasing population of the middle-aged and elderly brings with it many challenges which are more acute in low- and middle-income countries where resources are more limited. The increasing number of adults calls upon countries to institute the social and economic measures of ensuring their wellbeing and making them optimally productive. Health must be at the center of these concerns, not only its preservation towards the end but its optimization throughout the life-course. This report builds on a compendium of analytical papers covering the economics of avoidable mortality, long-term care, behavior change, social protection, and whole-of-government solutions to support healthy longevity. It emphasizes that a great deal of ill health globally is a result of inequities—especially poverty and gender inequities that limit or delay access to and use of health care. High out-of-pocket payments for NCDs can plunge households further into poverty or extreme poverty. Women live longer with NCD morbidities.Publication The World Bank Group in Georgia, 2014-23(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-07-30)This Country Program Evaluation assesses the performance and effectiveness of the World Bank Group’s support to Georgia in achieving the country’s development objectives. In the decade leading up to the evaluation period, Georgia pursued economic reforms to attract critical investments for becoming a regional trade and transport hub. Ambitious economic reforms went hand in hand with efforts to improve human development and strengthening social protection systems. Growing geopolitical tensions and internal political polarization have challenged Georgia’s reform progress in recent years. The Bank Group’s strategy adapted well to Georgia’s development needs and was well coordinated with other development partners. It successfully employed a range of instruments to help increase competitiveness, growth, and job creation, and effectively contributed to improved infrastructure and increased trade by using programmatic and innovative approaches. The Bank Group’s regular investments in analytical work and the switch to results-based programmatic support helped improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education and health care systems. The IEG offers the following lessons based on the evidence and analysis in the Country Program Evaluation: (i) Prioritizing Bank Group support around the move towards deeper regional integration was an effective anchor for key economic reforms for economic convergence. (ii) Pursuing a selective and adaptive approach in a country with high implementation capacity and institutions, strong coordination among development partners, and access to a wide range of external resources can allow the Bank Group to exercise significant influence in areas of comparative advantage and global expertise. (iii) A stronger focus on outcome-based programmatic approaches helped to build local capacity and crowd-in partner financing.Publication FY 2025 China Country Opinion Survey Report(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-08-04)The Country Opinion Survey in China assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in better understanding how stakeholders in China perceive the WBG.
