'We Are Unfair to Geothermal and Hydroelectricity' - IEA President Birol ...

Fatih Birol, President of the International Energy Agency (IEA): ‘As of now, the share of solar and wind, which we talk about a lot, in total electricity generation is 9 percent, while hydroelectric alone is 17 percent, but it is a bit like an orphan. Hydroelectric and geothermal energy is not on the agenda enough. This June, we will publish a publication dedicated solely to hydropower. "

Birol made this statement at YENADER's Renewable Energy Summit (Turkey).
