Renewable energy potential maps

For achieving the objectives:
goal 7
goal 11
goal 13

Description

ENEA elaborates renewable energy potential maps on whatever territory with variable horizontal resolutions, based on the size of the area of interest.

The maps can be integrated with topographic and socioeconomic layers, thus providing a useful tool to accurately plan the potential development of renewable energy sources.

Benefits and Advantages:

  • Planning the use of renewable energy sources
  • Mitigation and containment of greenhouse gas emissions

ENEA Service:

  • Elaboration of wind energy potential maps
  • Elaboration of photovoltaic energy potential maps
  • Elaboration of hydrographic maps for potential hydroelectric energy use

ENEA Activities:

ENEA has a multi-year experience on mesoscale weather modelling (some tens to a few km spatial resolution) and hydrographic basins analysis. This know-how has been proposed in developing countries to create renewable energy potential maps (wind, photovoltaic and hydrolectric).
