Renewable energy sources provide an opportunity for developing countries and countries with economies in transition to embrace a low carbon pathway powered by innovative, smart and locally relevant energy solutions. In this context, UNIDO’s renewable energy-related activities include the promotion of renewable sources of energy, and the facilitation of productive activities in rural areas and in industrial processes. To enhance productive activities and increase competitiveness of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in rural on/off-grid areas, UNIDO’s renewable energy strategy promotes the following forms of renewable energy: bio-energy; small hydro-power; solar energy and wind energy.
