...clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change. n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of energy data. n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies. n Find solutions to global energy challenges through engagement and dialogue with non-member countries, industry, international organisations and other stakeholders.

...possible solutions in rural, remote areas in the country. Thus in February 27, 1981, Federal Republic of Germany and Republic of the Philippines entered into a contract to develop applications of solar energy in the Philippines. This project was called the Philippine German Solar Energy Project (PGSEP) which was funded by the German Bundesministeruim for Zussamenarbeit through the Gesselchaft for Zussamenarbeit, and Philippine Office Energy. The governing body of the said project was the Philippine National Oil Corporation through its Energy Research and Development Center. Solar power systems is done through the encapsulation of the solar energy from the sun through the photovoltaic (PV) panels which produce direct current (DC) power to run a DC appliance. Additionally, DC current can be converted alternating current (AC) to run AC appliances. The project was anticipated to solve the inexistence of electrical power resources to provide for the basic needs that immediately improve the lives of Filipinos in areas where electricity is not readily available. II. TIME FRAME The proponents point for analysis would be on 1988. This is based on the data given concerning the commencement of PGSEP (Philippine-German Solar Energy Project) on February 27, 1981 to develop a solar source of energy in the Philippines and yet after 7 years, it was to be terminated at the end of the year unless they could have a local group who will deal with the project commercially.

...Experience with Promotion of Renewable Energy: Successes and Lessons Learned Parliamentarian Forum on Energy Legislation and Sustainable Development Cape Town, South Africa 5-7 October, 2005 Richard L. Ottinger[?] Abstract: Renewable energy is becoming economic in all markets as its rapid growth results in more competitive prices. It is particularly appropriate and increasingly being adopted for providing electric power services to rural areas in developing countries unlikely to be served by grid electricity. Policies needed to implement renewable energy systems in rural areas are discussed in this paper. Most prominent are removal of subsidies to traditional energy primarily benefiting the wealthiest; involving the local populace in decision making; educating financial institutions about the economics of investing in renewable energy systems and creating investment vehicles appropriate to financing them in poor localities; training personnel on management, maintenance and drafting contracts; requiring vendor provision of maintenance and parts; and effective regulation and oversight of system management and financing. I. Introduction The recent sharp increases in the prices of oil, natural gas, uranium and coal underline the importance for all countries to focus on development of alternative energy resources. For developing countries, these price increases can have ruinous economic consequences; for many countries already plagued by poverty this means...

...more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels. Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas, in contrast to other energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries. Rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency is resulting in significant energy security, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits. In international public opinion surveys there is strong support for promoting renewable sources such as solar power and wind power. At the national level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20 percent of energy supply. National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond. While many renewable energy projects are large-scale, renewable technologies are also suited to rural and remote areas and developing countries, where energy is often crucial in human development. United Nations' Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that renewable energy has the ability to lift the poorest...

...CHAPTER 2 Present Values, The Objectives of the Firm, and Corporate Governance Answers to Practice Questions 1. The face value of the treasury security is $1,000. If this security earns 5%, then in one year we will receive $1,050. Thus: NPV = C0 + [C1/(1 + r)] = −$1000 + ($1050/1.05) = 0 This is not a surprising result because 5 percent is the opportunity cost of capital, i.e., 5 percent is the return available in the capital market. If any investment earns a rate of return equal to the opportunity cost of capital, the NPV of that investment is zero. NPV = −$1,300,000 + ($1,500,000/1.10) = +$63,636 Since the NPV is positive, you would construct the motel. Alternatively, we can compute r as follows: r = ($1,500,000/$1,300,000) – 1 = 0.1539 = 15.39% Since the rate of return is greater than the cost of capital, you would construct the motel. 3. Investment (1) NPV Return 2. − 10,000 + 18,000 = $5,000 1.20 18,000 − 10,000 = 0.80 = 80.0% 10,000 9,000 − 5,000 = 0.80 = 80.0% 5,000 5,700 − 5,000 = 0.14 = 14.0% 5,000 4,000 − 2,000 = 1.00 = 100.0% 2,000 (2) − 5,000 + 9,000 = $2,500 1.20 5,700 = −$250 1.20 4,000 = $1,333.33 1.20 (3) − 5,000 + (4) − 2,000 + a. b.

...RISK AND RETURN IN CAPITAL MARKETS SECURITY RETURNS Components of security returns • Stocks – Capital gains/losses and dividends • Bonds – Capital gains/losses and interest • Returns stated in absolute dollar or percentage terms o Absolute dollar return = (end price – beginning price + cash flow) o Percent return = (end price – beginning price + cash flow)/beginning price = absolute dollar return / beginning price • If the security is a stock, the percent return can be separated into the capital gain yield (the first term below) and the dividend yield (the second term): Rt = (end price – beginning price) / beginning price + dividend / beginning price where Rt is the return for time period t. Example You purchase a stock for $50, sell it one year later for $53. During that year, you received a dividend of $2. What are your absolute and percent returns? Separate the percent return into the two components. Capital gain = 53 – 50 = 3 Dividend = 2 Absolute dollar return = 3 + 2 = 5 Percent return = 5/50 = 3/50 + 2/50 = 6% + 4% = 10% Capital gain yield = 6% Dividend yield = 4% Example You purchase a $1000, 5%, 20 year semi-annual bond for $1050 right after a coupon payment. One year later you sell the bond for $1025. What are your absolute and percent returns? Capital loss = 1025 – 1050 = -25 Coupon payments = 5% ( 1000 = 50 Absolute dollar return = -25 + 50 = 25 Percent return = 25 / 1050 = 2.38% ...
