Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (RECAI) What makes a market attractive for renewable energy investors?

1. Leveraging our transaction market experience, sector knowledge and global reach, the
RECAI ranks 40 countries on the attractiveness of their renewable energy investment and
deployment opportunities.
Released quarterly, the index scores countries based on a number of macro, energy market and technology-specific
indicators, as well as providing insights on specific markets and key finance, transaction and policy trends.
Now in its 11th year, the RECAI has established itself as an industry standard and is widely regarded as providing
leading market commentary, analysis and insights on the global renewable energy sector. It has also become a key tool
for developers, investors and corporate decision makers on market entry strategies, and is used by governments and
multilateral organizations to help inform policy decisions.
The report reaches over 750,000 energy sector stakeholders globally each quarter and is also publically available online.
