NO This report examines global trends in renewable energy investment, focusing on developments in 2014 across technologies, regions, and financing mechanisms. It aims to assess investment patterns, cost dynamics, and the role of renewable energy in addressing climate change. The analysis draws on compiled transaction data, including asset finance, public markets, and venture capital, with estimates applied where disclosures are unavailable. Findings show a strong rebound in investment, led by solar and wind, with significant growth in developing economies and increasing contributions to global electricity generation. The report also identifies ongoing policy uncertainty, structural system challenges, and declining technology costs as key factors shaping future investment and deployment.
