Annual generation per unit of installed PV capacity (MWh/kWp) Wind power density at 100m height (W/m2)

Biomass potential: net primary production Indicators of renewable resource potential

5 6
Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes,
4 7 each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity
(kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country's land
area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area
3 8 across the classes (for comparison).
Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the
seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart
2 9 shows the distribution of the country's land area in each of these classes
compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third
class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.
Biomass: Net primary production (NPP) is the amount of carbon fixed by
1 10 plants and accumulated as biomass each year. It is a basic measure of
8.5
200 biomass productivity. The chart shows the average NPP in the country
0 tC/ha/yr 11 (tC/ha/yr), compared to the global average NPP of 3-4 tonnes of carbon

= Global average of 3-4 tC/ha/yr

Sources: IRENA statistics, plus data from the following sources: UN SDG Database
(original sources: WHO; World Bank; IEA; IRENA; and UNSD); UN World Population
Prospects; UNSD Energy Balances; UN COMTRADE; World Bank World Development
Indicators; EDGAR; REN21 Global Status Report; IEA-IRENA Joint Policies and
Measures Database; IRENA Global Atlas; and World Bank Global Solar Atlas and Global
Wind Atlas.

Additional notes: Capacity per capita and public investments SDGs only apply to
developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy
production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all
commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is
calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided
emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by
fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This
assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place
to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In
countries and years where no fossil fuel generation occurs, an average fossil fuel
emission factor has been used to calculate the avoided emissions.

These profiles have been produced to provide an overview of developments in

renewable energy in different countries and areas. The IRENA statistics team would
welcome comments and feedback on its structure and content, which can be sent to
statistics@irena.org.
