REthinking energy 2017 - IRENA

This edition of REthinking Energy presents evidence and a compelling narrative of the remarkable ongoing transformation and how renewable energy is being produced and used – in the rapid growth of solar PV, for example, in game-changing storage innovation, in the success of fine-tuned policies and new financing mechanisms. A further boost has come from bold commitments by the private sector. Iconic companies such as Google, Apple, and Facebook are committing to procure renewable energy for their operations, while a vibrant small- and medium-size enterprise sector in emerging economies is pioneering new and successful models bringing sustainable energy to the energy poor.
