CURRENT SITUATION AND TRENDS OF THE WORLD RES DEVELOPMENT
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2017.01-03.084-100
Abstract
The article provides an overview of the current state and the development prospects of technologies, based on the use of renewable sources that in modern global conditions is one of the ways to improve the energy efficiency and environmental safety. Policies aimed at enhancing energy security contribute to the rapid increase in use of renewable energy sources. Electricity generation from RES amounted more than 22% of the total energy production in the world in 2015, investments in the development of which amounted about 286 billion dollars a year, and innovative development of which ensured the creation of more than 8 million workplaces. A significant increase in the installed capacity is accounted for the wind power, solar energy and hydropower.
