This paper was prepared for REN21, the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century, which was an outcome of the Bonn International Conference for Renewable Energies in 2004. Formally established in Copenhagen in June 2005, REN21 provides a forum for international leadership on renewable energy and connects the wide variety of dedicated stakeholders that came together at the Bonn conference. At the G8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, in July, heads of state issued a statement that embraced the role of REN21 in advancing new energy options. This paper explores the extent to which increased use of renewable energy can provide reliable and affordable energy services, and assist developing countries in expediting their economic development and alleviating poverty.While the paper’s contents have benefited from expert knowledge of the REN21 Steering Committee members, it cannot be considered representative of all views or of a consensus on each point.
