16 TOP FIVE COUNTRIES 1 Countries considered include only those covered by BNEF; GDP is for 2012 and from the World Bank. The following renewable energy projects are included: all biomass, geothermal, and wind generation projects of more than 1 MW; all hydropower projects of between 1 and 50 MW; all solar power projects, with those less than 1 MW estimated separately and referred to as small-scale projects or small distributed capacity; all ocean energy projects; and all biofuel projects with an annual production capacity of 1 million litres or more. 2 Solar water collector (heating) rankings are for 2012, and are based on capacity of water (glazed and unglazed) collectors only; however, including air collectors would not affect order. Note that past editions of this table have not considered unglazed water collectors. 3 Per capita renewable power capacity ranking considers only those countries that place among the top 20 worldwide for total installed renewable power capacity, not including hydropower. 4 Country rankings for hydropower capacity and generation differ because some countries rely on hydropower for baseload supply whereas others use it more to follow the electric load and match peaks in demand. 5 Not including heat pumps. Rankings are based on a mix of 2010 data and more recent statistics for some countries. 6 Capacity, otherwise noted. Note: Most rankings are based on absolute amounts of investment, power generation capacity or output, or biofuels production; if done on a per capita, national GDP, or other basis, the rankings would be quite different for many categories (as seen with per capita rankings for renewable power, solar PV, wind, and solar water collector capacity). 1 2 3 4 5 Investment in renewable power and fuels China United States Japan United Kingdom Germany Share of GDP 2012 (USD) invested1 Uruguay Mauritius Costa Rica South Africa Nicaragua Geothermal power capacity New Zealand Turkey United States Kenya Philippines Hydropower capacity China Turkey Brazil Vietnam India Solar PV capacity China Japan United States Germany United Kingdom CSP capacity United States Spain United Arab Emirates India China Wind power capacity China Germany United Kingdom India Canada Solar water heating capacity2 China Turkey India Brazil Germany Biodiesel production United States Germany Brazil Argentina France Fuel ethanol production United States Brazil China Canada France ANNUAL INVESTMENT / NET CAPACITY ADDITIONS / PRODUCTION IN 2013 1 2 3 4 5 POWER Renewable power (incl. hydro) China United States Brazil Canada Germany Renewable power (not incl. hydro) China United States Germany Spain / Italy India Renewable power capacity per capita (not incl. hydro)3 Denmark Germany Portugal Spain / Sweden Austria Biopower generation United States Germany China Brazil India Geothermal power United States Philippines Indonesia Mexico Italy Hydropower4 China Brazil United States Canada Russia Hydropower generation4 China Brazil Canada United States Russia Concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) Spain United States United Arab Emirates India Algeria Solar PV Germany China Italy Japan United States Solar PV capacity per capita Germany Italy Belgium Greece Czech Republic Wind power China United States Germany Spain India Wind power capacity per capita Denmark Sweden Spain Portugal Ireland HEAT Solar water heating2 China United States Germany Turkey Brazil Solar water heating capacity per capita2 Cyprus Austria Israel Barbados Greece Geothermal heat5 China Turkey Iceland Japan Italy TOTAL CAPACITY OR GENERATION 6 AS OF END-2013
