Off-grid renewable energy statistics 2021
- Off-grid electrical power production from renewables, although mostly unrecorded in many countries, is believed to be expanding rapidly. By incorporating info from studies, management data and workdesk research study, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has attempted to brighten major fads in off-grid renewable energy release around the globe.
This publication presents statistics for the decade 2010-2019 in trilingual tables, covering off-grid power capacity, biogas production and numbers of individuals using off-grid power and biogas for cooking as well as lighting. Off-grid sustainable power can originate from a variety of sources, varying from huge separated power grids to solar lights as well as solar home systems. In addition to houses, off-grid renewables give power for water pumping, street lighting, telecoms towers, rural schools and also centers, as well as for remote industrial and commercial facilities and various other uses.
The capacity numbers presented below do not cover all the off-grid power sources reported in IRENA's annual capacity statistics. They do, nonetheless, provide even more information on the end-uses of some kinds of off-grid eco-friendly power, in addition to details concerning the numbers of people using such resources of power. The sources and methods utilized to compile this information are described in Measurement as well as estimate of off-grid solar, hydro as well as biogas power (IRENA, 2018).
