Overview
Technology
• Most global investment in electricity generation is in renewables
• Renewables potentially more affordable than some conventional options being suggested for Myanmar
• Renewables can play important role in rural electrification
Financing
• Financing particularly available for climate-friendly energy

Renewables share of global electricity
• Renewables accounted 28.9% of global power generation capacity and 23.7%of global electricity demand
• Renewables made up for 60% of net additions to global power capacity• Total RE power capacity: 1,849 GW, an increase of almost 9% over 2014

Wind Power
Wind power was the leading source of new power generating capacity in Europe and the United States in 2015, and the second largest in China
Wind power is playing a major role in meeting electricity demand in an increasing number of countries, e.g.:
➜ Denmark: 42% of demand
➜ Uruguay: 15.5%
