About IRENA The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future, and serves as the principal platform for international co-operation, a centre of excellence, and a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial knowledge on renewable energy. IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy, in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity. www.irena.org Acknowledgements Prepared by: Arvydas Lebedys, Dennis Akande, Nazik Elhassan, Gerardo Escamilla, Adrian Whiteman and Iana Arkhipova.

For most countries and technologies, the data reflects the capacity installed and connected at the end of the calendar year. Pumped storage is included in total capacity but excluded from total generation. The capacity data are presented in megawatts (MW) and the generation data are presented in gigawatt-hours (GWh). All the data are rounded to the nearest one MW/GWh, with figures between zero and 0.5 shown as a 0. In the balances, renewable electricity trade is calculated based on the share of renewables in total produciton. Data have been obtained from a variety of sources, including: the IRENA questionnaire; official statistics; industry association reports; and other reports and news articles. Numbers followed by the letter “o” are figures that have been obtained from official sources such as national statistical offices, government departments, regulators and power companies. The letter “u” follows figures that have been obtained from unofficial sources, such as industry associations and news articles. The letter “e” follows figures that have been estimated by IRENA from a variety of different data sources. All figures from the IRENA questionnaire are presented without any indicator. The Public Renewable Energy Finance Flows shown in these tables present an overview of investment transactions for renewable energies from selected public financial institutions. The numbers are aggregated for each country and technology, based on the project level information. The data is presented in million United States Dollars (USD million) at current prices, rounded to the next 1 million, with figures between zero and USD 0.5 million shown as 0. The data have been obtained from a variety of publicly available sources. Data are available for download at www.irena.org/statistics. NOTES À PROPOS DES TABLEAUX Les données sur les capacités électriques renouvelables présentées dans ces tableaux représentent la capacité maximale nette de génération des centrales électriques et autres installations utilisant des sources d'énergie renouvelables pour produire de l'électricité. Pour la plupart des pays et technologies, les données reflètent la capacité installée et connectée à la fin de l'année civile. Accumulation par pompage est inclus dans la capacité totale, mais exclu de la production totale. Les données de capacité sont exprimées en megawatts (MW) et les données de production sont présentés dans gigawatt-heures (GWh). Toutes les données sont arrondis à l'unité la plus proche ; les valeurs inférieures à 0,5 apparaissent comme 0. Dans les bilans, les échanges d'électricité renouvelable est calculée sur la base de la part des énergies renouvelables dans la production totale. Les données viennent de nombreuses sources incluant : le questionnaire IRENA ; les statistiques officielles ; des rapports d'associations de l'industrie ; et d'autres rapports et articles de presse. Les valeurs suivies de la lettre ""o"" ont été obtenues à partir de sources officielles (par exemple instituts statistiques nationaux, agences gouvernementales, régulateurs, compagnies d'électricité). La lettre ""u"" suit les valeurs venant de sources non officielles comme des rapports d'associations de l'industrie ou articles de journaux. La lettre ""e"" suit les valeurs qui ont été estimées par l'IRENA à partir de sources diverses. Toutes les données venant
