Description: With the increased penetration of renewable energy into our energy mix, policy makers and project developers are seeking to improve access to good quality resource data and to reduce resource associated risks in project development.
The IRENA Global Atlas for Renewable Energy is a free online resource-assessment tool for users to search and locate renewable energy opportunities. It provides the user with a better understanding of the renewable energy potential in a country or region.
IRENA is launching the new version of the Global Atlas for Renewable Energy platform, which enhances users’ experience with revised renewable resource maps that are complimented with supplementary data, such as protected areas. The user-friendly platform includes newly added functionalities to enable effective mapping of resource potentials and perform advanced renewable energy-site prospecting.
