Insights from Interviews, a Survey, and a Workshop with Potential End-Users of the Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy

The Global Renewable Energy Atlas, which went live in January 2013 with components for solar and wind energy, is an open-access on-line resource intended to support well-informed energy policy and investment decisions. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have compiled feedback from end-users during this first phase to provide guidance for subsequent Global Atlas expansion. The resulting joint report, entitled Insights from Interviews, a Survey, and a Workshop with Potential End-Users of the Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy, compiles responses and makes recommendations from extensive end-user consultations.
