A team of researchers from the University of Southampton in the UK has produced the world’s first solar and wind energy map. This tool takes almost all the large photovoltaic parks and wind farms installed on the planet into account and therefore manages to fill one of the biggest shortcomings in the renewable energy field, namely the lack of information on the location of current infrastructures. The new study, published in the Nature’s Scientific Data journal, shows where large solar and wind power plants are located, reporting both regional infrastructure density and power output.
