Reegle Launches A Map Of The Clean Energy World






The Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) announced on April 27, 2009 that it now provides a global map to assist researchers with information on clean energy topics by country.

The “Reegle Maps” application provides a visual entry point to clean energy news and projects by countries and regions. The map allows searches by sectors under the major headings of:
  • Climate Protection
  • Cogeneration
  • District Heating Systems
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Renewable Energy
  • Rural Electrification,
  • ...and many subheadings under these major headings.
Reegle acts as a unique state-of-the-art search engine, targeting specific stakeholders including governments, project developers, businesses, financiers, NGOs, academia, international organizations and civil society.”

“Reegle’s information gateway provides information and data on all the various sub-sectors within sustainable energy at a global level including:
  • Jurisdiction and laws
  • News and announcements
  • Political declarations and discussion papers
  • Project activity and financial reports
  • Statistical data
  • Studies, manuals and reports
  • Tenders, grants and bids”
The REEEP was launched at the Johannesburg, South Africa World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002. The REEEP’s goal is to accelerate the global marketplace for energy efficiency and renewable energy. The partner organizations actively facilitate financing mechanisms for sustainable energy projects, and structure policy initiatives for clean energy markets.

The REEEP lists of partners, international organizations, MOU organizations, governments, and international processes offers an impressive overview of global attention to creating a new energy economy.
