2019 UNFC Public Comments on Solar Energy Specifications

Draft Specifications for the application of UNFC to Solar Energy

PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSED


The Solar Energy Sub-group of the Expert Group on Resource Management (EGRM) is pleased to present for public comment the draft document “Specifications for the application of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) to Solar Energy”. The purpose of the document is to enable application of UNFC incorporating Specifications (as set out in ECE Energy Series No. 42) to solar energy. Growing awareness and interest in renewable energy resources, including solar energy, has highlighted a need to standardize how renewable energy potential is classified and reported. Reporting of solar energy in a consistent and comparable manner to other forms of energy will aid with the policy formulation, national and corporate resources management and provide a comparable basis for financing energy projects.
