Metadata Sub-indicator 7.b.1.1. Installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing and developed countries (in watts per capita)

Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Target 7.b. By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries and small island developing States

Indicator 7.b.1. Installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing and developed countries (in watts per capita)

Sub-indicator 7.b.1.1. Installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing and developed countries (in watts per capita)

The indicator is defined as the installed capacity of power plants generating electricity from renewable energy sources divided by the total population of a country. Capacity is defined as the maximum net installed electricity capacity at the end of the year and renewable energy sources are those defined in the IRENA Statute.

\[ \frac{ C_{max}^t}{P^t} \] where \( C_{max}^t \) is the maximum capacity (in Watts) in year \(t\) that IRENA has in its database, and  \(P^t\) is the population that the United Nations has in the database of its “World Population Prospects” section in the same year.
