Renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy made from renewable natural resources that are replenished on a human timescale. The most widely used renewable energy types are solar energy, wind power, and hydropower. Bioenergy and geothermal power are also significant in some countries.

Renewable energy installations can be large or small and are suited for both urban and rural areas.
Renewable energy is often deployed together with further electrification.
This has several benefits: electricity can move heat and vehicles efficiently and is clean at the point of consumption.
