In sub-Saharan Africa there are more people with mobile phones than access to electricity, and their data could be useful.
Everything you need to know about pumped hydro.
The blockchain is creating new opportunities for the electricity sector. The December 2018 Energy Market Barometers looks at where experts think the technology is heading.
