Metadata Sub-indicator 12.a.1.1. Installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing and developed countries (in watts per capita)

Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Target 12.a. Support developing countries to strengthen their scientific and technological capacity to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production

Indicator 12.a.1. Installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing and developed countries (in watts per capita)

Sub-indicator 12.a.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.
