The REN21's Renewable 2014 Global Status Report states a new record level for the global renewable energy generation capacity. Due to the increasing support of the developing countries by policy, the renewable electricity capacity achieved a growth of more than 8 % in 2013. The report provides an overview on the renewable energy market, industry, investment and policy developments worldwide.
