Paris, 6 January 2010: The Renewable Energy Policy Network REN21
today launched its
Renewables Interactive Map (beta-version).
The
Map
contains a wealth of information on renewable energy, including support
policies, expansion targets, current shares, installed capacity, current
production, future scenarios, and policy pledges.
The Map can be found on
the REN21 website, at
www.ren21.net/map
The REN21 Secretariat collects the
information from various reports, databases, news announcements, specific
enquiries, and other sources.
Designed as a central access-point to
renewable energy information, the
Map is dependent on the knowledge
contributions of many organisations and individuals in the renewable energy
community. REN21 strives to cite the sources for all the information
presented, so that users can access further information directly.
As the
network of the renewable energy policy community, REN21 has provided
authoritative information for several years, in particular through its Renewables Global Status Report. As a new tool for REN21’s knowledge
management, the
Renewables Interactive Map is designed to track more closely
the dynamic development of renewable energy policy-making and market
development, and to provide disaggregated information for specific countries
and technologies.
The tutorial video below will provide you guidance on how to use the
Map.
The REN21 Secretariat wishes to thank the network partners
for their support in producing the
Map, and invites all experts to provide
data contributions and comments for the
Map, which is still a beta-version.
