What share of my energy mix can be supplied by renewable energy?
Where are the resources located?
What is the most cost-effective combination of technologies?
What amount of investments does it represent? How many jobs ?
Is there a large enough market for sustaining a supply chain?
Bridge the gap between nations having access to the
necessary funding, technologies, and expertise to evaluate
their national potentials, and those deprived of those
elements.
Access to data and methods
Access to training materials and courses
Access to finance
Access to a network of experts

How is the work organized?
• The Steering Committee meets during the IRENA Assembly. Intermediate meetings are
organized at IRENA Councils and other ministerial events – CEM, GBEP.
• The Secretariat is made of a team of 3 persons in IRENA Abu Dhabi.
• The working groups meet twice a year, during expert meetings or workshops . Experts
are designated by the participating countries, and invited by the Secretariat.
• The end-user group is constantly keep informed of the developments – newsletter,
website, and can contact the Secretariat at any time. The end-user network meets once a
year in Abu Dhabi WFES.
• Additional ad hoc task forces are created for a temporary issue – ex data quality for
solar and wind, capacity building for solar and wind.
• Participation is voluntary. Financing is shared between country contributions and
IRENA’s core budget.16

WHAT IS THE GLOBAL ATLAS?
Part I - Data Infrastructure and Sharing
20
Existing application – maps.nrel.gov/SWERA
21
FAO BEFS for Tanzania
Example of data integration from data to the Atlas
Existing application – http://www.solar-med-atlas.org/
Mali solar and wind
Step1: registering the data on a geoserver
22
Step 2: Remote registration to the catalog
23
Full description, ownership and references are preserved
24
Consequence 1: Data appear in Atlas interface library
25
Consequence 2: larger data dissemination
26
Consequence 3: WMS can be used by third parties, other projects and initiatives
27
28

GeoSur (simulation)
Consequence 4: linking data networks

Intellectual property?
• If the data has IP restrictions – signature of a data sharing
agreement with IRENA
• IP remains with the data owner
• Data sharing and download can be limited on demand
• Service can be modified or stopped from data owner’s end
• The catalog can handle private and public data 30

What is the Global Atlas?• A free, open source, open standards Global Spatial Data Infrastructure
A global public library of renewable resource maps – 300 + datasets included
The information is not copied or duplicated, and existing services are
integrated
Data owners use freely the platform to disseminate and reference their own
datasets
Depending on the IP restrictions, the links can be used by the Atlas online GIS,
the data owners and their project partners, and the general public
• The GIS interface is online and freely accessible. Basic users can access
information and perform basic analyses.
• ‘Advanced’ users can create their own online project maps, embed those in their
webportal, and use the online tools on their own datasets. 40
Ongoing work and next steps
• Integration of Countries’ solar and wind data – display,
point data
• Additional datasets coming online – DTU, CENER, NASA, others
• Significant improvements to the Atlas GIS
• Capacity Building for the Atlas
• Roadmap for Geothermal energy
• Roadmap for Bioenergy
• Hydropower?
• Technical Assistance41
