The Global Atlas for Renewable Energy is an initiative developed in 2012 by IRENA in partnership with the Clean Energy Ministerial Multilateral Solar and Wind Working Group to advance the deployment of renewables.
The initiative assists policymakers, project developers, investors and the global community by providing:
- a single online repository that assembles and collates renewable energy resource datasets and supplementary information for understanding the theoretical renewable potential in any region or country;
- online tools that estimate the technical potential of a specific renewable resource for planning and project development; and
- country-level technical analysis to assess the technical and economic potentials for identifying opportunities for renewable energy project deployment.
Contact IRENA to contribute data for the Global Atlas, promote IRENA’s tools or request services.
