READ MOREA distribution system operator (DSO) is a method of operation that evolved from modern distribution network operators to actively balance power inputs and outputs by integrating a diverse range of distributed energy resources into the grid. Because the DSO is a model of operation, they are not singular organisations (although they can be), but

Seats in parliament were divided on a 6-to-5 ratio of Christians to Muslims, until 1990 when the ratio changed to half and half.
READ MOREA few points to note about this data: Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings.
