“Continued and increased investment inrenewables is not only good for people andplanet, but will be a key element inachieving international targets on climatechange and sustainable development.”

“By adopting the Sustainable DevelopmentGoals last year, the world pledged to endpoverty, promote sustainable development,and to ensure healthier lives and access toaffordable, sustainable, clean energy forall.”

“Continued and increased investment inrenewables will be a significant part ofdelivering on that promise.”

$286 billion (USD) invested in renewables in 2015 Since 2004, over $2.3 trillion (USD) total investment Energy storage is critical to increasing adoption of

renewable power generation In 2015, 250MW of utility-scale electricity storage

was installed worldwide, up from 160MW in 2014

More Renewables = Need for Energy Storage

Variability of Wind & Solar = Need Storage
