Demand for energy services is increasing.
GHG emissions resulting from the provision of energy services contributesignificantly to the increase in atmospheric GHG concentrations.

RE growth has been increasing rapidly in recent years.
140 GW of new RE powerplant capacity was built in2008-2009.
This equals 47% of allpower plants built during
that period.

Capacity credit is an indicator for the reliability of ageneration type to be available during peak demand hours.
If a type of generation has a low capacity credit,the available output tends to be low during high demand periods.

Few, if any, fundamental technical limits exist to the
integration of a majority share of RE,but advancements in several areas are needed.
Transmission and distribution infrastructure
Generation flexibility
Energy storage technologies
Demand side management
Improved forecasting and operational planning methods
