The Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA) project provides information about solar and wind energy resources in thirteen partner countries around the world. Products include data on wind and solar energy potential, plus detailed country energy analyses. SWERA is a UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) project with co-financing from GEF. The SWERA Interactive Mapping System (IMS) is an on-line Geographic Information System tool for viewing several renewable resource datasets sets available through SWERA.
