Summary of RENEWABLE ENERGY STATISTICS 2017

Core Content

This document presents comprehensive statistics on renewable energy capacity and production for various countries and regions worldwide, including data on public finance flows for renewable energy projects. The information is organized by continent and region, with detailed breakdowns of different renewable energy technologies.

Main Points

• Capacity and Production Data:

  • The data reflects the maximum net generating capacity of power plants and installations using renewable energy sources.
  • For most countries, the figures represent the capacity installed and connected at the end of the calendar year.
  • Pumped storage is included in total capacity but excluded from total generation.
  • Capacity is measured in megawatts (MW), and generation is measured in gigawatt-hours (GWh).
  • All figures are rounded to the nearest MW/GWh, with values between zero and 0.5 shown as 0.

• Public Renewable Energy Finance Flows:

  • These tables provide an overview of investment transactions for renewable energy from selected public financial institutions.
  • Data is aggregated by country and technology, based on project-level information.
  • Figures are presented in million United States Dollars (USD million) at current prices, rounded to the nearest 1 million, with values between zero and USD 0.5 million shown as 0.
  • The data is sourced from publicly available information.

• Data Sources:

  • The statistics are compiled from various sources such as the IRENA questionnaire, official statistics, industry association reports, and news articles.
  • Numbers marked with "o" are from official sources (e.g., national statistical offices, government departments).
  • Numbers marked with "u" are from unofficial sources (e.g., industry associations, news articles).
  • Numbers marked with "e" are estimated by IRENA from multiple data sources.
  • Data from the IRENA questionnaire is presented without any indicator.

• Countries and Regions Covered:

  • The document includes a wide range of countries and regions, grouped into:
    • Africa
    • Asia
    • Central America and the Caribbean
    • Europe
    • Middle East
    • North America
    • Oceania
    • South America

• Note on Data Availability:

  • The data can be downloaded from www.irena.org/resource.
  • The list of countries and regions is based on the UN Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use (M49 List).

  • Oceania: Includes Australia, New Zealand, and various Pacific islands.
  • South America: Includes Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Venezuela.

• Timeframe:

  • The data spans from 2007 to 2016, with 2017 figures also included.

• Units:

  • Capacity is expressed in MW.
  • Generation is expressed in GWh.
  • Public finance flows are expressed in USD million.

Structure and Organization

• The document is divided into sections for different energy types and regions.
• Each section includes a table with capacity and production data for each country, along with the years 2007–2016.
• The tables also provide notes on data sources and rounding conventions.
• The document includes a list of countries and regions in English, French, and Spanish for clarity and accessibility.
