IRENA’s founding members were inspired by the opportunities offered by renewable energy to enable sustainable development while addressing issues of energy access, security and volatility. Established in 2009, the intergovernmental organisation provides a global networking hub, advisory resource and unified voice for renewable energy. www.irena.org REPORT CONCEPT AND EDITORIAL VIEW This report was commissioned by IRENA and produced in collaboration with the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
