If there are no national data corresponding to UN SDGs indicators, international data are available for monitoring.
Indicator name

Installed renewable energy-generating capacity in developing countries (in Watts per capita)
Data name

Installed renewable energy-generating capacity
Definition

The installed capacity of power plants that generate electricity from renewable energy sources divided by the total population of a country.
Data collection

The capacity data is collected as part of IRENA’s annual questionnaire cycle. Questionnaires are sent to countries at the start of a year asking for renewable energy data for two years previously
