To further this process, the World Bank plans to develop an "Operational Guide to Design and Implement Renewable Energy," which will provide the necessary tools to assist Bank staff and member country personnel in improving the design and implementation of RE projects. This operational guide will help to significantly reduce project preparation cost and preparation time and increase project success. Developing the RE toolkit consists of two phases: phase I, a scoping study and need assessments, and phase II, developing the RE toolkit. This report summarizes the findings from phase I. It consists of the following four sections, which are the major activities undertaken under phase I : a) need assessment with the World Bank Group task managers; b) need assessment with RE industries and financial institutions; c) inventory research of previous work on toolkits related to rural energy and renewable energy; and d) development of a conceptual framework and a proposal for phase II.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAPPROACHAVAILABILITYBALANCECAPACITY FACTORCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FINANCECARBON FINANCE OPERATIONSCARBON REVENUESCLEAN DEVELOPMENTCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLEAN ENERGYCLIMATE CHANGECOALCOMBUSTIONCOMBUSTION TURBINECOMBUSTION TURBINESCONVENTIONAL ENERGYCOST ANALYSISECONOMIC GROWTHELECTRIC POWERELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMELECTRIC SYSTEMELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY SECTORELECTRICITY SYSTEMEMISSIONEMISSION SOURCESEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENERGY ACTIVITYENERGY NEEDSENERGY PLANNINGENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY PRODUCTION INCENTIVESENERGY SECTORENERGY SOURCEENERGY SOURCESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL RESOURCESFOSSIL FUELSFUEL COMBUSTIONFUEL OBLIGATIONGASGAS TURBINEGENERATIONGEOTHERMALGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGREEN POWERGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTIONSGREENHOUSE GASESINDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERSINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYKILOWATT-HOURSLAND USELNGMARGINAL COSTNATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY LABORATORYNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS IMPORTSNATURAL GAS PRODUCTIONNATURAL GAS SUPPLYNATURAL GAS USENATURAL RESOURCESOILOPECPARTICULATESPEAK DEMANDPETROLEUMPETROLEUM EXPORTING COUNTRIESPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER PLANTPOWER PRODUCERSPOWER PRODUCTIONPOWER SECTORPOWER SECTOR REFORMPOWER STATIONSPRESENT VALUEPUBLIC UTILITIESRENEWABLE ELECTRICITYRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY APPLICATIONSRENEWABLE ENERGY CAPITALRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATIONRENEWABLE ENERGY LAWRENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTRENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT DEVELOPERSRENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTSRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESRENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPORTRENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESRENEWABLE GENERATIONRENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARDRENEWABLE POWERRENEWABLE POWER GENERATIONRENEWABLE PROJECTSRENEWABLE RESOURCESRENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTARIFFWINDWIND CAPACITYWIND DEVELOPMENTWIND ENERGYWIND ENERGY GENERATIONWIND ENERGY PROJECTWIND FARMWIND POTENTIALWIND POWERWIND POWER BIDWIND PROJECTWIND RESOURCEWIND RESOURCES10.1596/18068
