IRENA Launches its Online Knowledge Platform

The best available data and information on renewable energy is now freely accessible. REsource, released this week by IRENA, enables users to easily find country-specific data, create customized charts and graphs, and compare countries on metrics like renewable energy use and deployment. It also provides information on renewable energy market statistics, potentials, policies, finance, costs, benefits, innovations, education and other topics.

"The continued growth of the renewable energy industry has outpaced the information available to monitor and analyse the sector. REsource now provides a strategic window into these trends and developments, while cementing IRENA’s role as a global knowledge hub on renewable energy,” says IRENA’s Director-General, Adnan Amin.

By providing access to a large amount of information and data in one centralized location, REsource aims to improve decision-making, increase awareness and investor confidence, and accelerate the overall deployment of renewable energy technologies worldwide.

Policy-makers, private sector professionals, analysts, researchers, journalists and the general public will all benefit from REsource’s user-friendly platform by gaining a better understanding of the latest renewable energy trends and data.
