풍력과 태양 에너지의 점유율은 빠르게 꾸준히 중가했다 (2017년 1.1점)
풍력과 태양에너지는 2017년에 탄력을 받았고 세계 전력 믹스에서 차지하는 비중은 1% 포인트 증가했다. 태양에너지는 2017년 추가 발전량의 20%, 풍력은 30%를 차지했다.
최근 몇 년간 비용 감소 (특히 아시아) 및 야심찬 정책과 결합하여 2010년부터 600GW 이상의 태양광 및 풍력 발전을 설치하여 재생 에너지를 증대시켜 왔다. 유럽 연합 (독일과 영국)이 가장 빠르게 증가하고 2017년에는 모든 지역에서 풍력 및 태양에너지의 점유율이 계속해서 증가했으며 중국, 브라질, 미국, 인도 및 일본이 그 뒤를이었다.

The country discovered its crude reserves more than 10 years ago but the production has been repeatedly delayed by disagreements with field operators over taxes and the development process. Besides, the lack of existing transportation pipelines and refining infrastructure also played a significant role in holding up the country's projects.
