Renewable resource data 2020
- The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) creates comprehensive, trusted data sets on renewable resource ability and also use worldwide. Renewable Energy Statistics 2020 provides information sets on power-generation capability for 2010-2019, real power generation for 2010-2018 and also renewable energy equilibriums for over 130 countries and also areas for 2017-2018.
Data was obtained from a selection of sources, consisting of an IRENA set of questions, official national data, sector association records, specialist records and also newspaper article. Significant trends in the industry worldwide are described in the coming with brief on Renewable energy highlights.
The yearbook likewise includes statistics on financial investments in renewables, put together from the OECD-DAC database as well as 20 major multi-lateral, reciprocal as well as national growth financial institutions, spanning 2009-2018. The financial investment data is presented in millions of United States bucks (USD million) at 2017 rates.
Data on sustainable power capacity stands for the maximum web producing capacity of power plants and various other installments that make use of renewable energy resources to generate electrical power. For the majority of countries and technologies, the information shows the capacity set up and also attached at the end of the fiscal year.
Capability exists in megawatts (MW), while generation exists in gigawatt-hours (GWh). Pumped storage space, although included as part of hydropower information, is excluded from complete renewable resource.
Electrical energy generation and also capacity datasets from the year 2000 onwards are additionally available via a dashboard on IRENA's Data & Statistics web page.
