Renewable energy can: Meet our goals for secure, reliable and sustainable
energy Provide electricity access to 1.3 billion people Promote economic development At an affordable cost
3
The Global Context
The urban middle class is growing
Electricity demand will grow rapidly in non OECD
But huge untapped markets will remain
The Energy Sector is Being Transformed
4
A virtuous cycle is unlocking the economic, social and environmental benefits of renewables
Higher capacity
factors from improved
technology
Wind turbine cost
reductions
Costs are falling….
Wind Power
Renewables are increasingly competitive!
IRENA’s analysis of 9000 utility-scale projects and 200k small-scale solar PV
Doubling the share of renewable energy by 2030
Doubling the share of renewable energy implies a tripling of the share of modern renewables.
With Renewables + Efficiency we can achieve a 450ppm Path
