Renewable Energy

Renewable energy has become a priority for both governments of IEA member countries and emerging economies. Countries are increasingly recognising the potential role of renewable energy within a portfolio of low-carbon and cost-competitive energy technologies capable of responding to the emerging major challenges of climate change, energy security, and access to energy.

In addition to the analysis of renewable energy technologies and Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) issues and priorities, the IEA Secretariat’s activities increasingly focus on policy and market analysis, system integration issues, as well as gathering and elaboration of statistical data. The work is rapidly expanding as a response to the present challenges of an unsustainable global energy structure and the growth of renewable energy markets.
